Aero stuff

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?

Don't quote me but I can't see them being any different.

Perhaps a z4m bumper would do the trick then? Mines got a good low stance but can't help but think it could look meaner

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 :thumbsup:

Everyone to their own however..
Cheers :driving:

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

IMO the aero skirts don't look any better OR worse than the standard...just different ! When you factor in what they cost + painting and the fact that only people on this forum would even notice the difference, then I just don't think they're worth the expense. If they were on a car when I bought it then fair enough otherwise I wouldn't be bothered. However I REALLY like the Aero front bumper ! :thumbsup:

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.

Aero kits aside! What about the satellite dish? That's a 1st! :rofl:

This only works when looking at the 2nd photo :oops:
 
I genuinely can't make my mine up. If for some reason my needed replacing and the standard and aero skirts were the same cost I really don't know what way I would jump.

Z4m bumper makes it instantly meaner looking, best mod I ever did.

You can pick up side skirts for £300. That's not painted though.

I messaged the guy on this site. He said the part (number 3) was the skirts.

That's where I got mine from. They come from Lithuania and they sting you for delivery because nobody will take them off them. I spent weeks chasing them and then had to pay another €180 to get them here after already paying the initial delivery charge

Hello, ,

I wrote you an email and you haven't responded. Email was:
We have tried dispatching your parts but they are 190cm long and no one from the courriers can take it from us unless DHL. DHL shipping costs 180 EUR.

Best regards

Did you also get a fixing kit with the side skirts, or did you use the existing ones when fitting the new parts?
