E85 boot lip?

[Bad_Pritt]

I've been searching for ages but can't seem to find boot lips for the E85. Has anyone ever tried a boot lip from another brand or BMW type?
I'm looking for something like this to accentuate the ducktail a little more.

Tomscott had one on his coupe ,this might help but there isn't much info - http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=55412&p=811178&hilit=boot+spoiler#p811178

The coupe one won't fit a roadster because of the profile of the boot being curvier. And therefore sexier

Indeed, I've seen the lip of the coupe on many sites, but will never fit the roadsters...
It would help my search if there were any types of cars that have the same curves on the boot lid, but I can't think of one...

I've been thinking about this as an alternative as well: the alpina spoiler, but without the 2 side bits.

Don't you fancy the aero ducktail spoiler?

It kills the lines of the beautiful back end.....Makes me sad

I have to agree. The shape of the Z4 as a whole, on both both the Coupe and the Roadster, is aesthetically well balanced as designed & It doesn't take much to upset that balance. I quite like the full spoiler because it follows the original lines nicely but that lip destroys the look of the rear IMO

Weren't you creating one of these? :?

I'm with yorkie & dewi 100% , the bootlid of the roady needs no add on's , it,s stylish enough as it is & whilst the aero spoiler mirrors the outline it also makes it appear clumsy imo :?
bit like socks on a rooster not a good look

Another vote against a spoiler the Z4 is a stunning looking car needs no help

Hope this helps.

For me it's a dodgy subject - it's very difficult to get something subtle that looks right - as above the lines are so nice and balanced that the only stuff I've seen that looks ok are the tiny small boot lips that are almost non existent - i.e. The less you add the better

Just in case you think I'm completely anti-mods I would prefer to go the whole Hogg - no messing about - like this :

That is getting really close, yes!
Still a bit bulky tho

 

[mr wilks]

oh dear

why would you ? :?

 

[srhutch]

That looks terrible. If it's going on a black car it won't show up anyway so why bother?

 

[Beedub]

the alpine roadster S spoiler is by far the best, the full 3 piece unit is actually functional and looks really nice imo.

Am I the only one that thinks the back seems extremely high for a zed?? :|

Why not just get a wing like the one that brads going to put on project marmite? oke:
