Aero stuff

[Rusky]

So having recently purchased an aero boot spoiler from a Forum member and having it sprayed and fitted this week, i am curious as to how readily available the other bits are? I like the look of the aero kit, front end and rear end, side skirts arent a massive difference. I'm not in a position to start buying them yet but i would be interested in any pics and opinions you have on the Aero look.

Cheers All

Aero skirts make no difference

Wash your mouth out.

Aren't a massive difference? I beg to differ!

I missed out on a front bumper to Ducklakeview for 200 quid in good condition

Skirts seem to fetch 3 to 400 a pair

Rear bumper I agree it's a bit non descript I wouldnt really bother and don't come up often

Any photo's of the spoiler now it's fitted?

Sorry I cant help with the rest, though I do love my Aero skirts! I thought I was buying them cheap, until I waited and waited... realised they were coming from BMW in Lithuania, then nobody would ship them so eventually my 'cheap' set of skirts doubled in price just to get them here.

I don't think they arrived even then, after hounding them for ages for why it wasn't here yet, a set magically appeared at BMW down the road.

Surprised of the three you don't think much of the skirts, my order would be Skirts > Front Bumper > Rear

I love the Aero skirts, think they really bring all the lines of the car together. I'm not so keen on the Aero front bumper, think it's a bit dated now.

I like my Aero bumper, looks much better than it did in the silver it was when I got it

I love the aero look. Completely changes the look of the car. Especially the front bumper. I'm getting the skirts next year to go with the bumper I got this year. I personally prefer the original rear bumper and I'm not too fussed about the spoiler. I like the discrete spoiler we already have.

spoiler is being sprayed so will get it on Friday so will take the pics then , hutch i said i dont see a massive difference with the side skirts, but i havent really taken a proper look either. I do however like the look of the front, need some pics of the bits you have fitted guys. By the way this isn't a slating of the Aero kit, i really like it and if money was no object and i could keep it below the Wife radar then i would already have it fitted.

Sgr that front transforms the look, really do like that, is it lower than the standard?

 

[Rusky]

Does the bumper come with the light jetwash holes?

Depends on the car, mine came from a car without, so I had to cut them. The fixings for the jets are there on all of them though.

Old and new..

I'm with you.........

Not long, popped a pair of colour coded Aero side skirts on my Z4M R....
Difference is crystal clear... A positive, but very subtle visual effect, gained

Everyone to their own however..
Cheers

I was only jesting with you

Love this kit transformation thinking of a bit of a add on soon twin pipes

Skirts are next on my list, I think they look the bollox, and tie in nicely with the front bumper.

Aero front bumper (perhaps with side skirts too) is definitely something i'd like to do. Does anyone know if they would fit fine on a coupe, not sure i've seen any aero front bumpers on coupes before! I would assume they have identical mounting to the facelift roadsters?

 

[Silverzedtom]

I seem to be the only one who prefers the standard skirts?

By the time I have finished my list I might have changed my mind. Although that's years away - and seems to be getting longer and longer...
