To avoid derailing someone's Wanted advert any further I thought it might be better to start a new thread. :lol:

So I'll start of with a photo of mine with the standard sill covers.

They certainly improve the lines of an already beautiful car. :thumbsup:

I don't get it?
Why would you take a car with such flowing curves and slap a dirty great straight edge down the side of it.

In the pictures, I agree, I don’t like them. But having seen Tidy’s car in the metal, it does look great. Maybe it’s just not a flattering photo. At the end of the day, I’d rather spend £850+ on something else.

Another silver grey coupe here. This year I thought F***k it and have started adding bits here and there since all of the preventative maintenance is out of the way.

I also think that the aero parts just hide the lower part of the Z-shape, which is quite bold form language, accentuating the flame surfaces above it.

Also prefer a whippy :P

Personally I love the Aeros, I think they give the car stance and purpose, but equally the cars look great without them. Here’s a picture of mine, taken tonight with the setting sun glinting off the Aeros.

Really wish the lower side grilles were used as brake cooling ducts like the M bumper.

You say that but if you look at the pictures the bottom of the door curves out. The aero skirt continues this line where as the factory skirt doesn’t. You could argue it’s how the car should have left the factory in the first place.

God I love that car. I never thought I would like a 'brown' car, but Sepang is stunning! You know how to take a piccy too :thumbsup:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Z4m came with them luckily and bought a second hand set for a fraction of what they cost now for my old titan, both look great and I couldn't imagine having a zed without them
