Should I do this?

Actually much of BMW's engineering comes from the race track. Race cars are a big part of my inspiration. You are entitled to your opinion though and I asked so thanks for your comment .

Ryan,

I vote for leaving it as is. The car looks great - no changes necessary.

I think it would really add an aggressive touch to my bumper. Need more opinions!

Dude, leave it in one color. Black on SG, does it make any difference?

JMO, but I think we get caught up in mod fever.... change just to change.
(I know I do

)

It rocks the way it is now

, I'd leave it.

remmib · 09-20-2006, 06:58 AM

If you don't like it ,you can repaint it

If you paint it black it will look a bit like the M-sport II on E46.

You're not the only one. I love the black CF spoiler on AW. I'm going this route myself with the trunk and roof spoiler, mirror covers, front lip splitters, etc. I love the black on white look. Hotness:rocks:

I voted for 2 tone as well.

Ryan, trust me it will look sick if you paint the rear diffused black.

aphall · 09-23-2006, 12:31 PM

Just a thought, but not sure if the car will look "unbalanced" if just the rear diffuser is black and the front of the car doesn't have any black. So, for instance, if you have flat black front splitters AND a flat black diffuser, it would look balanced.

But if we're just talking about looking at the rear and not the overall car, I think the black diffuser looks pretty darn good.

ALPINE6SPD · 09-25-2006, 10:54 AM

do it right away

longtran · 09-25-2006, 11:07 AM

word!

do what you want man, what you like.. who cares what we think..

its your style not ours

my 2cents.. i like the 2 tone

KL2DC · 09-25-2006, 02:26 PM

Ryan,

I see what you're trying to do...what about Cf overlay instead of flat black? It will add some texture and desired contrast to that part of the rear apron.

lionheart · 09-25-2006, 03:21 PM

like ryan said, d you're gonna do it flat black anyway, in fact I think you probably already have an appointment scheduled this week! HAHA BTW I think it will go well with the theme you currently have on the front grill!
