They stick over the existing. I used this for adhesive: https://a.co/d/8zKOe3i

Over 3000 miles later, they don't budge. Don't rely on the double sided tape.

Thank you, I have just ordered an equivalent high temp metal epoxy resin from Amazon in the UK, which arrives on Saturday - I am hoping the covers will arrive tomorrow or Friday, so a potential job for Sunday - weather permitting.

Looks good. It gives the front end a mildy aggressive look. I could not believe how perfect the fitment was. Since it's so cheap, I am going to buy another just to have in case the current one gets damaged somehow.

Stance SF03, 20x9 +15, 20x10.5 +30. Tires are Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 255/40/20 and 295/35/20. Parked in sport mode on a slight hill so it makes the rear look a tad higher. Still not sure about lowering it, especially with the front lip on there now.

Definitely don't spend the money on that when this one has excellent quality and perfect fit!

CETE lowering module installed. The lowest setting is "show mode" but cannot be driven like that. Took a few shots at Bimmerfest. I was busy all day so got there after most cars had left.

The rest are in Sport mode which I have set at -5 front and -11 rear. Finally evened out.

Yes sir. Took me a while to find a good shop that could do it. Nice little splash of color.

After having a rear wheel refurbed, I decided to machine polish and ceramic coat. It took me a few days to complete, thank goodness for my car cover to protect it in between.

I think it turned out pretty good.

Figured I'd get this thread bumped back up - maybe we can get some more new pictures rolling. Fresh pic of my '22 740i.
