Custom Wide Body Kit for BMW i8 Restyling — Carbon Fibre Aero and Forged Wheels

Why BMW i8 Owners Choose Custom Body Kits

The BMW i8 arrived as a design statement — scissor doors, a mid-engine silhouette, and a plug-in hybrid powertrain that was years ahead of its time. Even now, it remains one of the most visually striking sports cars on the road. Yet owners who want to push the i8's drama further, or refine its aero for track-day credibility, commission custom body kits from Hodoor World. We design and manufacture bespoke wide-body conversions, carbon fibre components, and forged wheel packages for the i8, delivering to more than 40 countries.

Wide Body Kit Options for BMW i8

Our i8 wide-body programme adds 30 mm to 70 mm per side, filling the car's already generous wheel arches with even greater visual mass. Two approaches are available: a sharp-edged, aero-race profile with hard shoulder creases and vented fenders, and a smoother, organic extension that amplifies the i8's flowing factory lines. Both bolt to existing mounting points without cutting the carbon-fibre-reinforced-plastic tub. Panels are offered in pre-preg dry carbon, wet-lay carbon, or fibreglass.

Carbon Fiber Components for BMW i8

The i8 already uses extensive carbon fibre in its passenger cell, so aftermarket carbon components are a natural continuation of the car's DNA. Our i8 carbon range includes mirror housings, a vented engine cover, rear wing end plates, side-sill covers, and a front splitter assembly. All pieces are finished in 2×2 twill weave with UV-resistant clear coat, or in forged carbon composite for the marbled aesthetic. Weight savings are meaningful on a car designed around lightweighting from the factory.

Front Bumper and Lip Upgrades

The i8's front end responds well to a deeper chin and wider air channels. We offer a full-replacement bumper with sculpted canard elements, enlarged cooling ducts, and a prominent carbon splitter, all retaining the factory sensor and camera positions. For a less invasive upgrade, a bolt-on lip extension adds forward projection beneath the OEM bumper. Both are CFD-tested for reduced front-axle lift. Material choices include dry carbon, FRP, and polyurethane.

Rear Diffuser and Spoiler Options

The i8's rear is defined by its flying-buttress design, and our diffuser works within that architecture to add functional underbody channelling. A carbon rear wing — either fixed or adjustable — adds genuine downforce for owners who take the car on circuit. A subtler ducktail extension for the rear deck is available for those who prefer a restrained finish. All rear components are produced to match front-end kit materials.

Side Skirts and Fender Flares

The i8's low rocker line is ideal for aggressive side-skirt treatment. Our extensions are available in a 30 mm street profile and a 50 mm track blade, both integrating with the car's distinctive door-sill design. Fender flares for the wide-body conversion wrap the wheel arches with structural adhesive and concealed fasteners, preserving the i8's clean surfacing while adding the volume needed to house wider wheels and tyres.

Custom Forged Wheels for BMW i8

The i8's staggered layout — narrower front, wider rear — demands carefully specified wheels. We supply monoblock and multi-piece forged aluminium wheels in 20- to 21-inch diameters, hub-centric to 72.56 mm and engineered for the i8's unique brake configuration. Choose from turbine, split-spoke, or deep-concave designs, finished in brushed aluminium, gloss black, or bespoke PVD. All wheels are forged from 6061-T6 alloy.

Installation and Fitment Guide

Each kit ships with a detailed installation manual, stainless hardware, and direct access to our engineering team at [email protected]. The i8's CFRP tub requires careful handling — we provide specific drilling templates and torque specifications for every fastener. Bumper replacements are plug-and-play with factory wiring. Professional installation by a shop experienced with carbon-bodied vehicles is essential; a full wide-body conversion typically requires 16–20 hours including paint.
