Back again for feedback!

I purchased my rear spoiler back in February 2017. Ever since, it's just been sat in the local body shop waiting for me to make a decision!

I have finally decided. In my decision making, I have recently purchased a slightly battered and bruised rear boot lid (in metallic grey) as a back up (to be stored in the shed/loft/garage) which is due to arrive this week at a crazy low cost of £25 with a £10 postage,

The plan - well my cherished White Zed will be having a rear mod. To date, all I have changed is the front headlights (massive improvement imo) and had the Seat Hoops sprayed piano black (worth every penny). I have kept the OEM headlights and Hoops to revert back to it's original look (if desired).

The boot lid purchase is a back up - if I hate the look of the new spoiler, it can be changed back.

The Spoiler will look like this? Worth noting my car does not have 4 exhausts, the same back lights etc etc. Its a standard 3.0L manual with only 32k on the clock now!

Votes and Opinions - Spoiler a NO or a YES?

It’s a no from me for the spoiler: I would personally go for the more discrete option suggested by thanatu55.
It’s a yes for the black kidney grille

What headlights did you fit? I have a Z4M and not impressed with its headlights despite being dual xenons...

In the end I never really did come to a clear-cut conclusion as a more discrete option became available which I'm more than happy with. However I ended up selling my aero spoiler to another member of the forum and it looks great on his.

Ultimately it's low risk to you considering the spare boot lid so go ahead and whack it on and see how you like it. There's no better means of evaluating than first hand physical scrutiny. I sometimes worry a little too much about what others think but am quickly learning it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as you like it and the black stripe does look kinda funky.

From the side it looks too overhanging.. Too long out the back and the way it just cuts off with no flow to the rear quarter it looks awkward.

With a beefier back-end, bigger bumper, quad exhaust, bigger wheels it works a bit better..

edit: I guess I kind of fall in line with this opinion for me personally but again it's win win in your case having both options.

Come spring mines going for some Rieger bumper and that spoiler treatment (bumper is cracked after hitting a wall whilst parking up at home and not paying attention) and ess treatment. The Alpina spoiler looks much better than this one but it's huge money.

Could it be complimented on the lower part of the bumper as below?

Mine will probs be all white I reckon!

Here’s a different white rear end for comparison:
