Single Parts vs the Full Package: Which Is Better Value?
Buying the gloss black package together (£599–£699) works out cheaper than buying the grille, splitter, side extensions, and spoiler separately — and gives a more coordinated finish since every part is designed to match. Single parts make sense if you're building the look up gradually, or only want to change one area of the car.
The gloss black package (£599–£699) gives the same visual silhouette as the full carbon kit at a fraction of the cost. The CT Design carbon fibre kit (£2,499–£2,679) is genuine pre-preg carbon — a bigger investment aimed at owners who want a true motorsport-grade finish, not just the gloss black look.
Fitment: What to Check
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| F40 generation (2019 onwards) | These parts are built for the current 1 Series — not the previous F20/F21 |
| F40 vs F44 (2 Series Gran Coupé) | Some parts (like mirror covers) are shared between F40 and F44; others are F40-specific — check the product page fitment notes |
| Standard vs M Sport bumper | Confirm which bumper your car has, as splitter and grille fitment can differ |
DIY vs Professional Fitting
| Approach | Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| DIY (single parts) | ~30–60 min each | Anyone comfortable with basic trim removal and clip fitting |
| Professional Fitting (full package/kit) | Same day | Owners wanting a guaranteed, factory-line finish across every panel |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a full BMW F40 body kit cost?
The gloss black body kit package is £599–£699. A full genuine carbon fibre body kit (CT Design) is £2,499–£2,679. Single parts range from £59 to £249 depending on the piece.
Do F40 mirror covers fit the F44 2 Series Gran Coupé too?
Yes — the mirror covers are shared between F40 and F44, available in both gloss black and carbon fibre finishes.
Is it cheaper to buy the parts separately or as a package?
The package is better value if you want the full look — buying the grille, splitter, side extensions, and spoiler individually costs more than the bundled £599–£699 package price.
Do I need to drill into the car to fit these parts?
No — F40 parts use existing mounting points and adhesive tape, with no drilling required on most kits.
Final Thoughts
The BMW F40 has one of the widest ranges of bolt-on styling options in the current line-up — from a single £79 grille swap to a full £2,679 carbon fibre transformation. Start with the gloss black package for the best value-to-impact ratio, or build up individual parts over time.
