XXii tuning front air vent + front lip + rear spoiler install
Finally installed the last pieces of my xxii tuning buy (previously posted about rear diffuser + mirror caps). These ones I took to a shop to do - mainly for the front vents as they're a PITA to install, and I ran out of time for the rear spoiler.
The shop was impressed with the quality/fitment. Front lip is 3 piece and they liked that you could swap out the pieces individually if/when one gets damaged. Fitment was 100% on those. Front vents are probably a 90% fitment. If you get very close you can see minor variations, but you'd have to know about it/look hard for it. The front lip I got was intentionally very understated, and I like it. Not enough that it's going to be scraped constantly, but adds a lot to the look of the car. Rear spoiler is also pretty understated, it's maybe double the size of OEM, but not crazy. As expected no fitment issue there. Overall happy with everything - I was trying to replicate exterior carbon pack given I missed out on that when I got the car. Total for everything cost me $3k, so 25% less than OEM at the time of order, and I did get extra pieces (front lip + rear side pieces for rear bumper). Quality vs cost is excellent, no complaints, and car is totally transformed. Zero regrets. |

Looks great...
Can you post a few more pics of the rear spoiler? I've been dying to purchase one like this. The duckbill is way too aggressive for my build/taste. Been looking for something oem-like but a little larger. This might be it. Too bad their website doesn't have pics of the spoiler on the car. Appreciate it. |

I'm curious about the inlet areas that fit poorly. Any pictures? The YT guy who has the install video seemed to have issues with things lining up, but later said after pushing and maneuvering the thing around, its spot on. I had my doubts.

Also for context, if I get a single small scratch on my car, it's the first thing I see and it eats away at me, so it's not like I'm carefree about the condition of my cars |

I've been looking at the XXII spoilers - is there one that's the actual same size as the factory one? Would that be the "CS style?" (https://xxiituning.com/products/bmw-...39378178703462) or is that what's pictured here, slightly larger than factory?

Ahh, OK, good to know, I would have thought that was "OEM" size, given the description. Thanks!

Yeah that's what I was thinking, that's why I went with that one. I'm not at all upset about the size, I think much smaller and you wouldn't even notice it was carbon, so I think it strikes a balance. I also figured it was comparatively well priced so even if I buy another one in the future I'm not exactly out a lot of money compared to the rest of the pieces

Reviving this thread. Is it possible to see some front 3/4 shots or side shots. I want to see how the car looks with the lip and no CF side skirts.
Looks great! Thanks! |
