I think the aero looks OK and can't see an issue with it. If you don't like it, get a standard one and sell the aero....simple

Not for me either the front aero bumper I'm afraid. I think bmw got it just right with the original front bumper. If I was changing it would have to be the M one. I know some folks love them and each to their own and all that. But the aero doesn't look right to me at all, it seems to date the car and is very maxpower/aftermarket body kit. Sorry but you did ask!

Yup, I did ask, so no problem with that. I appreciate people’s honesty.

So it does divide opinion a bit. Not sure if it bothers me enough to go through the hassle of changing it and potentially having to get a replacement sprayed etc. Although I might just float the idea of a trade/exchange on the sales forum to see if anything comes of it.

Each to there own I suppose I love my aero kit think in bits it can look odd but with the full kit it pulls it all together pretty sure someone will take it off your hands

I don’t think it’s hate, just differing tastes. It would a very dull world if we all liked the same thing. I certainly don’t hate it, but am just not sure I love it. I suppose in a line of standard Zeds the one with an aero front end would certainly stand out, so it’s nice to be a little different from the crowd. However, I’ve never been a major modifier. A few subtle style tweaks and personal touches, but in general I think BMW got it right with the standard pre-facelift look.
