Bracket is 51 49 7 383 584 and triangle is 71 60 6 770 487. Takes 30 seconds to pop the cover out and pop the bracket in.

If ever broken down on the side of the road, I’d use the triangle to help with someone not paying attention to the flashers and rear ending a stationary vehicle. A little safety redundancy. Sticker was $0.14 🤷‍♂️ if useful.

It wasn't that bad getting all the glue off the car but I can see the spoiler is going to suck since it's like 100x the amount I'll have to pull off.

Picked my car up from the dealership and drove it straight to the shop to get PPF. Also, received my dinan intake in the mail a day early.

Did you replace the side M badges as well?

Mine came with them but I’m taking them off, and doing the same as you have with the rear badges.

Where’d you get that console cubby!?!?

Been looking for a place for my (non learnable) garage remote.

You get them from Ali Express. There is a link on here somewhere, maybe early in this thread.

In the US the M badges don't come on the side (I'd have removed them as well, I hate them.)

The console addition came from AliExpress. I'd give you a link but their dumb emails aren't like Amazon and make it easy to find the item again.

Agree on the side M badges. There’s enough M on the M Light car already IMO.

I think I’ve seen this cubby thing on Amazon actually. Same stuff made in the same Chinese factory I’m sure.

Was it tricky removing the stock panel cover?

How’s the match / fit / finish of the cubby piece?

Thanks for posting the clear pictures. Always fascinating to see what's under the skin, and where all the cabling goes.

Have a look at page 8 of this thread and you can do your searches from there.
Very easy removing the stock panel with a couple of panel tools.

I can't tell the difference and it looks OEM. Just take a pry tool and pull it out and then you just push the new one right in until it clicks.

Thanks. I found the earlier post and the owner's thread you referenced. Found the part on Amazon. A bit more pricey there but no shipping cost and will arrived in a few days as opposed to a few weeks.

In the photos it looks a tad more glossy than the other plastic trim around it. Looks pretty damn close in the photo that you posted. Or did you find that it was a slightly different finish?

First wash with the new Apex wheels in brushed silver aluminum finish. Used to hate cleaning the stock gloss black ZTK wheels. Now it’s like cleaning fine jewelry/watches. Very rewarding to clean.
