Description

Transform the look and performance of your BMW 1 Series Coupe (135i and 128i) with the Evolution Racewerks FE Widebody Kit. Developed from our successful Time Attack racing program, this kit gives your car a more aggressive stance while enhancing its handling capabilities. By increasing the front track width by 5 inches, the FE Widebody Kit addresses the 1 Series’ factory understeer problem, allowing for better grip, improved cornering, and a more balanced, neutral driving experience.

Key Features:

  • Developed from Racing Experience: Directly from our Time Attack 135i Race Program, optimized for reducing understeer and enhancing handling.
  • Bolt-On Installation: No permanent modifications to the car body required. Can be installed with basic hand tools and is 100% reversible.
  • Increased Track Width: Front fenders are 2.5" wider per side, allowing for a 10" wide wheel, significantly increasing front traction.
  • Multiple Material Options: Available in economical fiberglass (FRP), traditional wet carbon fiber, and ultra-lightweight dry vacuum carbon fiber.
  • 5-Piece Kit: Includes a front bumper, two fenders, and two side skirts.
  • Perfect Fitment: Compression type plug molds ensure a smooth finish on both the exterior and interior surfaces for optimal fitment and aesthetics.
  • Complete Hardware Included: All necessary mounting hardware is provided for a straightforward installation.

Improved Handling:

The FE Widebody Kit is specifically designed to solve the 1 Series’ front-end traction issues that lead to understeer, especially under high-speed cornering. By widening the front fenders to accommodate larger wheels and tires (up to 10.5" wide), the kit increases the front contact patch with the road, ensuring better grip and more responsive handling. The result is a balanced, neutral handling setup, ideal for both track and spirited street driving.

Material Options and Benefits:

  1. Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP): Economical and ready for paint. Provides durability and a perfect balance of weight reduction.
  2. Wet Carbon Fiber: Lighter than FRP, with a glossy clear coat finish showcasing the carbon weave. Ideal for those looking to reduce weight without breaking the bank.
  3. Dry Vacuum Carbon Fiber: The lightest and strongest option, created using vacuum technology to remove excess resin. This results in an ultra-lightweight and incredibly strong part, perfect for racing or those looking for the ultimate in performance enhancements.

Installation and Reversibility:

The FE Widebody Kit is designed for easy installation with no permanent changes to your car’s body. The kit bolts directly onto the car’s existing mounting points, making it fully reversible should you wish to return your vehicle to its stock appearance.
