Lighting Package
Heated Steering Wheel
Parking Assist
Live Cockpit Pro
MP HAS
MP Exhaust w/ Rear Diffuser

MHC+ Edition 1 Carbon Front Splitter

Read the post. The car is on a boat getting ready for delivery. This is a build Journal. My first post comes as the car reaches California. Next real post will be pics and then will follow along as the mods listed are installed

ourlee · 10-01-2023, 04:15 PM

Dude so sorry, I’m a picture guy. Do people actually read these threads? I owe you a beer.

ourlee · 10-15-2023, 04:15 PM

Let’s GOOOOO

KAHANATHON · 10-15-2023, 04:18 PM

Height looks great and fitment should be perfect with spacers.

TT0997 · 10-16-2023, 08:41 AM

What’s the setting spec of the MP HAS ?

There is no presentation. It seems a bit premature. We need the photos.

This is at the dealership in NorCal which my broker went through. Its stock setting from VPC which to my knowledge is a 10mm drop.

Guys this is a build journal lol. The build started months ago and I am journaling my journey which should include this period of pre-delivery. The car is being loaded in an enclosed carriage and delivered to me in Los Angeles tomorrow. Tint is being installed on Wednesday. Rhys (R44) is installing splitter, skirts, winglets, spoiler, spacers, and DTRL a week from today 10/23. Taking it to get ceramic sometime next week after exterior parts are installed. Decided to go with a Modesta product and will be taking it to Burbank Auto Detail or Sprengers for coating. Does anyone have any experience with either of these two?

KAHANATHON · 10-17-2023, 01:43 AM

Getting loaded in enclosed truck for trip from NoCal down to Los Angeles for AM delivery

KAHANATHON · 10-30-2023, 03:26 PM

UPDATES!

Everything but ceramic done

if1960 · 10-30-2023, 11:50 PM

Nice to have it home I bet. How are you finding the 20mm spacers on the front? any rubbing? I'm still doing my sums on doing a 20in square wheel setup comparing offsets etc. The MP style "wing" looks too square and heavy, it reminds me of a cupboard door handle

Enjoy the new toy.

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 10-31-2023, 01:48 AM

Nice man. I've heard that BMW of CONCORD has some great prices on brand new cars. Hope the shipping wasn't too much to Beverly Hills...

DBV · 11-02-2023, 03:55 PM

Looks great! Question: is the carbon wing glued or bolted down?

Who did you get the spoiler from? I ordered one from Stardale that's getting installed next week.
