[QUOTE="ryvinson, post: 365523, member: 16472"] Breaking news! BMW Perf aerodynamic spoilers done.....! Ahhhhh...collected the ride 2 hours ago. Beaming with pride and satisfaction at the front and back spoilers even as the glue has yet to set. Mission Spoilers had all the high drama and high octane excitement of a covert military operation. Air freighted spoilers arrived on Friday evening. And then it was a mad, frenzied rush to the workshop on Saturday morning for the spray painting job. Bimmer renown workshop was packed to the rafters but careful relationship nurturing over the years saw my spoilers prioritized for the [I]de rigieur[/I] oven bake! This is the BEST workshop bar none for Bimmer crash and spray jobs. The workshop did me proud....again. Colour coded spray job was perfect...the sprayed spoilers could have just rolled off the factory production line, and one couldn't have noticed the difference with a trained eye. And then I watched with bated breath the installation job...the moment of truth.
