Do you get any warnings/errors with this Wheel installed or simply just no heated function?

BMW Corp told me they wouldn't install the wheel with the executive package, forcing me to skip it for the initial order but may add after.

Can you please post those mockups?

I think a lip and side skirts are needed if going body color on the stock lower black pieces.

This car just looks killer. So clean.

Not sure about the side skirts and rear, but the front looks good. Also, the car looks so good in Alpine White!! I am torn between Black Saphire and Alpine White.

This is the factory accessory wheel from BMW. You retain the stock middle part where your heated steering button is, however nothing plugs into the button. No error lights or anything. It disclosed this in the instructions provided by BMW for the wheel as well.

For the steering wheels, I would want full suede rather than partial.

So do I! But I think we will need to wait for a CS or CSL wheel to retrofit

wondering if it would look off just doing the front lip without the other pieces

or just the front lip and side skirts without the rear winglets...

I photoshopped every combination possible and front lip works as a standalone, but I felt it was all or nothing in terms of the side/rear skirt. Rear skirt is actually my favorite part of the entire car now as it took the side profile from being extremely plain, to more angular and interesting to match the bold front end. Just my opinion.

The car looks very nice Jaguar! I ordered mine in Black Saphire and i thought about leaving only the front lip too, however I think that a complete line should be maintained throughout the lower part of the car in carbon fiber, (i am not considering the Through-Flow Rear Spoiler)
My concern is as everything will come already included in the MRSP (my dealer said that will be installed when the car arrives at Galveston Port) So i can no longer regret it and I am afraid that when I see it installed I will not like them.
I must say that I like the fact that in a black car they were much more concealed (rear winglet), but not entirely.

Jaguar I just realize you still had the honeycomb bumper inserts. Are you going to the CF ducts?

No cracks, just reflections. The middle section is separate from the left and right side pieces
