Default What do you think of...

The splitters, i'm in 2 minds, they are carbon fibre, got them purely to match the rear diffuser which i fitted y'day as it has a larger cut out for the exhaust and i am about to get a twin exit.

Some love, some hate, should i stick them on ebay or keep em?

Like the rear..don't like the front. Looks like the centre section is missing from it.

as said, rear is spot on, but the front would be more suited the the newer shape beemer ad it is more angular.

I think they take the chunkyness away from the front, robbing it of it's mean looks

rear is fine mate, but front looks tacky imo. Reminds me of the local cruise....

it would probably look cool if it went all the way across the front, rather than just the corners.

I'm not sure, I mean, they don't look tacky as they are nice but just don't look right. The back is nice though.

Looking at pictures of your car, carbon will suit it far better than mine i think with it being silver - tried them on a pals black saloon, he loved em but IMO they dont stand out enough to be worth it and hes got no money anyway!

yeh they will look much better on silver and probably white, but never seen a white one, they do look good on black but then may as well be black and not carbon and therefore cheaper!
