Although, I'm in two minds on this one...
But the bottom one I'd love my car to look like
Thinking of fitting a boot spoiler?

Just as long as you don't start adding lots of fake ///M badges...
You could always add both Alpina and ///M badges for a unique look
IIRC beedub has a rear spoiler stored away somewhere? You won't get any grief from the Alpina guys on here if you fit Alpina body kit parts - your Bank Manager (aka "Other Half") may have some objections though
Powerontap on here (from Canada ) has an E85 with Alpina wheels and body kit, and his car looks great (although a lot of his images are now no longer linked)

Only read p3 but thought it worth a mention that some insurance companies add to your premium if you have one fitted. A mate of mine had £80 added to his policy when he bought an Octavia saloon with a OE one fitted

That doesn't look out of place to be fair.
p.s - where did you get the lights - half tempted to change my front one's to clear and lose the amber.

My fronts have the amber hockey sticks removed also but they were on the car when I bought it. The rear lights came from ECS Tuning in the USA. They had them on special offer and with shipping and bit of import tax they were still cheaper than I could have got just one of them here....

Edited to add its for a coupe so possibly completely irrelevant to this thread ...
How much you selling it for?

Honestly I have no idea what would be fair - maybe £150, but if that's way off let me know?
Things to consider:
1. its carbon black, so may need re-spraying
2. it has a few small chips in the paint
3. I also have a front splitter - and I think "really" you ought to have both fitted, in order not to upset the balance of the car; though personally I drove my car for several thousand miles with just the rear spoiler and didn't notice any issues. And fitting the front splitter properly looks a right PITA.

Good point. Worth checking since the approach seems to vary from one provider to another.
I'm with Admiral and they cover the OEM lip spoiler as an "optional extra" with a small bump in premium, but would charge a more significant premium for an aftermarket spoiler and exclude it from the scope of cover. OEM strutbrace is the same. Weirdly, they cover the CSLs as an "optional extra" too because they are a BMW wheel, even though they were never an option for this car.
