Well, does having the step removed and replaced by the side skirt make it any easier getting or out?

Better pics needed to show the additional colour coded mid section, which extends out and under the bottom of the skirt then  :P

There is still a step there  :P  But as I'm 6' 4" tall I just step straight in anyway  8)

If I didn't have to take the twins to every City home game I'd have had the time m8!

Am just looking at fitting my Flyeyeskit to the rear lights.  Possibly tomorrow or Monday.  I will most likely NOT remove the clusters for fitting, as they thoughtfully enclosed several scalpels in the kit.  Now that I've done the CF wrapping, the heatgun and scalpel technique has been perfected (ie. I have already sliced my finger once LOL)

I will deffo get round to a semi detail by Monday pm. :-)

No time m8, no time  :'(

Sanj I decided not to have the side steps double colour coded (ie. with use of some build up primer coat on the step section) as this is now the BMW Performance kit, as nature intended. Plus that would have looked odd and meant getting the wheelarches and front bumper edges done as well (which I don't want/like).

Always one eye on the residuals (the ACS I-drive knob is only on with double sided  ;) )
