You are asking the wrong guy. I’d prioritise chassis and performance mods over some iffy looking cosmetics.

TBH Alpha N and oem MP CF add-ons do little or nothing to G87. MP centre stack exhaust is laughable both in looks and price.

As did we! Car is already running full CSL suspension setup and software along with MSS Hybrid and CSL alignment, and our 600HP Warranty Tune and Eventuri Intake.

All of Alpha-N's parts are CFD tested and should make the car more stable at speed which Misha Charoudin commented on as a weak point when we he drove it at the ring.

OEM levels of fitment and carbon quality are definitely worth paying for, and actually save you time and money when it comes to having a bodyshop install them.

Hi Matt,

Good to know.

Out of interest, in terms of total spend (as %age) on your G87 what’s approx proportional split between latest cosmetics vs the good interesting stuff done already as per yr 1st paragraph.

Thanks in advance, BP

It's honestly about a 50/50 split at this point.

this is a shop project car. might cost the normal public 11k but sure the shop didn’t pay that and can write every penny of the cost off.

i want to some type of aero but its really hard to justify the cost.

i went the route of performance and mild aesthetics first. figure if i want to take it to another level.

Thanks guys! Really pleased with the outcome and matched the vision I had for it. IMO the G87 is crying out for aero/cosmetic mods. Its like a blank canvas.

Im convinced the kidney lights and rear spoiler design of the new m5 are just begging to get adapted to the g87. Would solve the two biggest problems with the car imo (from a looks perspective).
