Omg is this the original 2 series front bumper? Looks modified though. Looks great! How much is the damage?

Is this a front kit + 2er lights or is it made up of genuine BMW 2er parts
How difficult was the conversion to do?

Can't imagine that would be a cheap conversion.

Side shot? Keen to see those wheels as well.

Awesome. Love the 2 series front end, especially with the M-Performance lip!

Isn't there a height difference between the f20 and f22 front. If there is won't that effect the aerodynamics and airflow? I think it's an insane mod but if the height from the ground is different it's not worth it. Also we might as well all wait for the m2 front which I'm sure would look ace on the f20 once out.

You're right about that. I'm getting the same conversion done in two weeks, and I'm paying about €3,000 including the splitter.

Sorry about the late reply.

I did ask, however, it took less than one week with "enough" money....

The difficult bit for his conversion was getting all the head light to work properly....

In Augsburg, Germany. Maybe I've could have found someone more local to do it, or maybe I even could have done it myself, but I fancy the drive. There are several places along the route I want to see.

Nice

That looks
Do you know whether the bulbs had to be changed too or were the original m135i bulbs used.

I somewhat regret not having the splitter painted. I thought it would look good in matt black, and it does, but it would have looked better in the same colour as the car. Since it's partially glued on, I doubt I'll ever go through the hassle of painting it.

Do you have any pictures of your ride done? A weird question though does the height of the front f22 bumper differ from the f20 front like for air flow/aerodynamics?

Not sure about the height. I haven't noticed any difference in handling/top speed/fuel economy since the new front was fitted.

Here's a picture from my ride home. Complete with bugs and all.

It sure looks awesome! Did you do the back as well?
