CF or AW

e90AW335i · 02-06-2008, 07:48 PM

What do you think looks better on an AW e90 335i?

I am getting all of the following and curious whether you think I should get them in CF or painted AW....

Front Splitters
Mirror Covers
Front Grille
Rear Diffuser
Rear Spoiler

Thanks in advance for your comments and votes...

Front grills paint it AW
CF diffuser looks great

The OEM front splitters....

Also, it is either all or nothing. I think it will look crappy with some CF and some AW. I am fine with either but I wanted to get some opinions...

I went with all CF, unfortunaetly for 335 the M-tech rear diffuser does not come in CF.

I just realized the diffuser I thought was for the 335i was really for a 328/330...

So there is no way that will fit on a 335i? We could always cut another hole in it...

Hey can you post some pics of different angles of your car? Or just email them to me so I can take a close look? (PM for my email address if you want to email them)

Thanks...

These might help you out a little...

I have my CF mirror cover coming in next week, to match my splitters....

328i · 02-06-2008, 10:02 PM

I'd go with all the stuff in CF except splitters, they just look out of place on AW or any light color.

That's what I thought at first, but after having color-matched splitters for about a year, I got tired of it. I love the contrast between black and white and a lotta my friend told me that I should have gone this route to begin with.

If you feel that way about the splitters then wont the CF spoiler look out of place as well?

I thought he wrote roof spoiler, but a rear spoiler would look alright because it's the whole width of the car, versus two dark contrasting pieces on the side of the bumper that look stuck on. If it was a full carbon front lip like some e46's had that looks good.

Vickyy · 02-06-2008, 11:03 PM

go CF! i also went with cf and as well as looking for cf splitters on my aw. i like it especially because of the contrast
