Any up close pictures of the fitment ?

Does it mount with only tape ?

TIS Attached. The connecting cables are a mystery, you could get the part #s off the one that exists.

This is some great information thank you.
I’ve already found deep down the rabbit hole. I’m in the process of tracking down the connector to plug into the USB module. Found the manufacturer of the module itself, Bury, but that hasn’t lead to the connector.

Searching through mouser, think I’ve found the connect, just have to verify the specs.

I got:

But they also do:

And the clicking is not annoying (at least for me). It is an audible reinforcement of a gear change.

I installed the front license plate bracket from Carbonio. The installation would have been quicker for a normal person but once I read that adhesion was immediate I took extra precautions and measured everything numerous times. I am happy with the final outcome since I wanted the plate to sit up where it would normally go. The Sly Bracket was a little low and the Sto N Sho was way too low. I installed the bumper protectors on the back of the bracket just in case. There is a slight play in the mount but I believe that is caused by the bumper piece it is attached too that has some play. I think I will get some blue locktite for the thumb screw since the bracket is released with a short turn. Here are some pictures.

You and me both honestly though probably more than it's worth.

Finished painting my rockers and lower rear bumper (again lol), and added on the AUTOID stuff (front lip, sideskirts, mudflaps). I am really diggin the look now.

That looks so good, man! One of my few "gripes" with my G42 is the shiny plastic that you painted. Was it a pita of a process? I am guessing you clear-coated the paint as well.

That looks spectacular! Why did you paint the rear again? Peeling paint?

The look is so clean.

By the way, what mud guards/flaps are you using? Look metallic?

Yup, same here. I'd say it's not for the faint of heart lol. It's just "nerve-wracking," more than it is PITA. I just basically followed this guy's example and got great results. I did 3-4 coats of clear on top of 3-4 coats of base.

The first time I painted it a few weeks ago (first time painting anything automotive) was a learning experience I suppose. It came out nice, but not perfect. Mostly it was from how I applied the masking tape to cover the rest of the car. When I removed it, it took some of the new paint with it leaving a few unpainted spots. Then of course I decided to follow some advice and wet-sand the new paint and went too far. That was the real reason for the redo. But glad I did the redo as it was just a matter of sanding it down and doing it again with more experience.

The mud flaps are carbon fiber ones from AUTOID. The probably look shiny from my camera work, which is sub-par to say the least lol

On my order it says they're 1k EUR extra. But the electric seat package is another 1k EUR. I think it automatically added the electric package when I optioned the seats.

Said it from the beginning - the rocker covers need to be body colour!! You guys keep proving me right!

Fair play for attempting it with rattle cans too!

Good job, looks great especially all the additional bits! Now all you need is to get rid of the black wheels and you're good to go!!

You just gotta get the lower end G42. The 230i comes with body color rockers

Here’s mine when I picked it up from the performance center
