beautifully done, perhaps you could post a video of the car in action? I bet it is like having an entirely new auto. congrats on a terrific job and your new baby!

[quote="FemmeT] Do you have plans to add the aero side skirts?[/quote]

Thanks :) . Yes, I will add the aero side skirts too.[/quote]

Does anyone know where you would source the aero-kit for a 2007 roadster in the UK??

P.S. Car looks well mint!!!

Aero kit is a standard BMW dealer thing and you can usualy order the parts pre painted as I did with my side skirts.

How do you swap the taillights to those new ones? Any modification in wiring and how about the bumper? :?

i have done the same mate is not big deal your dealer it will doi it for you the bumper is straight forward the tail light it has some job but nothing big in order to work properly you have to change the control module also

What kind of control module and where to get it? I really love the new taillights but mine is a 2004 model. Any info would be greatly appreciated :)

I'm sure Femme can jump in and correct but from my understanding on the subject the change of rear lights is not an easy one.

Firstly the rear bumper profile is different so you would need to source and fit a new one. It shoudl be a straight bolt on replacement. Some have talked of reshaping the existing but I've not seen one done

The lights are very different in operation and will need the LCM module reprogramming or most likely replacing. It's located behind and integral to the light switch on the dash. In the UK IIRC they cost around £225.

Programming I have no idea. Certainly BMW could do it, if they would as it's outside of normal spec and no doubt specialist can.

Here's a short not so very interesting video (didn't have much time today and it was already dark outside):

On October 6th my car is scheduled for a ESS TS2 supercharger installation at the ESS shop in Norway :) . The custom install is going to take 2-3 weeks and should yield a power output of +400hp (I'm hoping for something around 420hp) :driving: .

Here are some pictures from last weekend at the Ring:

And another one from my holiday last month: Roadster S Homecoming at the Alpina factory :) :
