E89 non M Sport Mod, Yes or No?

Here's mine - blacked out lower grilles, plastic splitter and then a rubber adhesive lower part to protect the splitter from kerbs, small kids etc. :D

Love that... looks really aggressive...

I should be getting the GRP splitters today from Poland, so will post some pics...
 
Well, they arrived ... the passenger side fits well but the driver’s side I think the splitter is a bit warped ...

Wonder if you can heat fibre glass and bend it into shape? :?

Looks good when they are on though!

Ok, turns out looking at the 2 splitters, drivers side is 5mm shorter than passenger side 🧐. Ebay seller is sending me a replacement but looking at sales thread in this forum there was similar splitters for sale and from their pic it looks like one is also shorter than the other ? Maybe a batch of them with a bad mould... anyway will await replacement and see...

As a mock up, they do look really good on the car, even unpainted....

Do you have a link for the lower rubber splitter?
 
I think overall they can look good but I would want the bodyshop to graft them on so the joints are invisible and then the splitters will look like they are part of the bumper, right now they look a little bit like they are tacked on. If you are getting the bumper painted then this should be a fairly easy job for the bodyshop to do.

Do you have a link to the plastic splitter that goes this rubber attaches to and any close-up pictures of it?
 
I've attached some where I just had the plastic splitter, and then when I added the rubber lower (it is the same car, took the private plate off and changed the wheels :) )
The splitter was sourced off one of the FB Z4 groups, a member was making them from abs plastic. Its designed for the M style bumper, but width is the same just sits a bit further back on the mounting holes.
