Rear Spoiler Debate (Again!)

[tomoz4white]

I actually really like that spoiler. Come spring mines going for some Rieger bumper and that spoiler treatment (bumper is cracked after hitting a wall whilst parking up at home and not paying attention) and ess treatment. The Alpina spoiler looks much better than this one but it's huge money.

Cheers for the feedback mate - I think with the black middle section it will work well with the black / white combo of the car. Time will tell!

For what it's worth, it's another YES from me (I have an aero spoiler enroute to me for xmas)

No from me, the roadster rear end looks good as it is.

Just a thought, with the Black line being the only black on the rear it may look a bit odd.

Could it be complimented on the lower part of the bumper as below?

I like the look of these spoilers and will be buying 1 for mine soon.... also not sure on what design.

Mine will probs be all white I reckon!

Here’s a different white rear end for comparison:

Good shout although i think the black hood will compliment it enough. As soon as its on i will post some images and gather the yes's and no's

Hia Jingle...the benefit you have is the bumper and 4 exhausts on display and the newer back lights. Its a tough one. Those hoops should be piano black....lol!

Whilst on the subject of rear mods!

Any thoughts on changing the boot lid 3rd brake light from red to clear? Worth it?

Personally i think the red 3rd light looks good on white and blends in well with the other tail lights.
Another alternative Roadster sticker over the 3rd light, looks tinted lights up "Roadster"?

its a no from me sorry

What headlights did you fit? I have a Z4M and not impressed with its headlights despite being dual xenons...

the posted headlights are halogen and not xenon.
There is no aftermarket xenon headlight available for z4.

Hello Monaco84,

thanks for clarifying that! I guess I will have to look into replacing the bulbs of my xenon headlights: guess that after ~ 10 years they may not be at their best...

Definite no for the sticker idea!

i have the rear spoiler on my car and unless your going to heavily modify your car then i would advise a NO.

In view that it has taken so long for me to do anything says alot...however

Z4 Spoilers (on modified cars or standard cars) are completely marmite! - Some hate, some love. Im not sure how I feel - lol!

I guess the beauty of this one that I am having fitted, is they did come as an optional extra (am I right?) at the factory so it's not like I am wacking on a massive picnic tray on the boot?

Yes the spoiler is part of the aero kit, but without the side skirts or bumpers it might look a bit out of place.

I’ve already done that, it came with red, I replaced with white... it broke 2 years later and BMW replaced free of charge but didn’t tell me they were going to replace with a red light but I didn’t mind, as bowler says, the red blends with the brake lights nicely

Hi Tomo

Did you ever fit the aero spoiler?
I'm having the same debate myself. Not sure if it's just a wee bit OTT with the side skirts and front bumper. :?

 

[tomoz4white]

10 months on and it's still not fitted but...

I have instructed the bodywork guys to get it sprayed white with the black middle section so watch this space!
