heres the steering wheel badge, its good quality

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125353584184

the engine cover was discovered by some clever bugger on here, you need to buy the set below, and the wheel badges come apart by prying open the metal tabs, then use some double sided tape and it fits perfectly

I'd like to see some pictures from farther back to get an idea of what the whole package looks like. From the closeups you provided I think I like the red accents on the front air scoops but not a fan of the lip spoiler. I applaud the creativity though!

The key “switches off” after a few minutes so the wallet may be just peace of mind.

I need to do that; especially after this past Tuesday when I had to take a thug down at gun point hiding behind the air conditioner unit.

Move the key and it wakes.
Try it. Put the key in the floor near the car and unlock / lock the door. Don’t move the key. Try again a few mins later. It won’t open.

Cool didn't know that, with all the stories about thieves getting the signal through the walls and taking your car I thought it was a thing still

No. Just a thing on slow news days now. Not sure when BMW introduced them but it was a few years ago now.

As some users said, we need a wide picture to see the car from a far perspective. First I didn’t like so much much I guess it’s a perspective thing, that actually can work very well but we need more pictures.

I like when people think out of the box, well done

Saturns · 06-12-2023, 11:58 PM

put a little M highlights...

rockblock · 06-13-2023, 04:48 AM

Vinyl, paint or decal?
I was looking at doing the back contour as well, just wasn't sure how long my 3M vinyl would last given you can't tuck it in and it would just be applied on top

all temporary decals. I have decal many past cars with thin highlights and they hold well. I usually get my decal guy to do it. The small one I can do but highlights i leave an expert to do the work. i believe he cleans and preps the area with alchohol and water.

Only put M Performance break on mine.
