that just doesn't look good at all imo....
it seems the extend the back of the car and make it longer, from the side angle it sits lower that the rest of the car, i think it looks terrible. However.... its your car, respect for doing you own thing. when my roof need replacing it will definitely be a red one.

Coilovers look great... Maybe get spacers on the wheels now though as they seem a little sunken.
The diffuser looks great on it own... However doesnt seem to flow with the rest if the car which is subtle while rear is aggressive. Maybe if you got some more aggressive wheels to go with it :?
Also should have got some after market flush parking sensors as oem are so ugly.

I've got mixed thoughts on this, I love the defuser and how it looks.
I don't like how it looks bolted on. I'm surprised the body shop didn't blend it in? It's such a shame because for me this ruins it as you can see its a bolt on unit.
I had a front spoiler fitted to my van and had the body shop blend it in, see pic:
Here's another van with same spoiler thats not blended:
The difference is huge and makes it look like its part of the original body work, look how the wheel arch flows nicely into the spoiler on my van. It naturally extends the bodywork.

The rear diffuser would match the lines of the reiger sills as they extend lower than OEM..
Reiger stuff only looks good if you go the whole hog and fit everything,that's how it was designed.
If you start throwing bits on without taking into consideration the rest of the car then it just looks odd..
Oh... And tell him to match the paint up properly too, it might blend in better rather than it being an obvious aftermarket install..

i think its just the light in those pics that makes it look the wrong colour as the skirt looks a bit off too and from all the other pics we've seen it is right.
good effort JE
. for me its not quite aggressive enough but i like the big very obviously race carbon diffusers rather than the aerodynamically useless things. probably born from a function over form view point.
get a bit of crud on on the car and see it as you go past rather than static and it will look completely different again
id agree with the wheels comment, but then i'm not a fan of wheels right up in the arches look. some of the other wheels you've been looking at will work with it. i really like that design wheel its probably the one id get if i dropped my 108's but its not quite right with the lip at the front and now the lip at the back.
(does everyone realise we are encouraging JE to buy more wheels.... he'll have a new business soon with the JE Z4 wheel emporium hes gone through that many
)

A more agressive look all-round might be good to suit the rest. Actually, I have seen some great looking stickers/strips on another grey zed on here recently, more specifically on the lower part of the aero side skirts (under the line) which looked really goo imo. Some black matte stickers like those would really suit the rear! Can't find the picture on here tho...

Differing opinions is a good think Jonny, otherwise people modding their cars would all end up with the same end result! You're putting a lot of money and effort into your car. I think this kind of thing is probably better to see in the flesh, to be able to see the diffuser detail etc which I'm sure looks great. Nownget your car cleaned, the forecast looks ok ;-)Jonny essex said:
