By the way this isn't a slating of the Aero kit, i really like it and if money was no object and i could keep it below the Wife radar then i would already have it fitted. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I was only jesting with you :D

Skirts are next on my list, I think they look the bollox, and tie in nicely with the front bumper.

Aero front bumper (perhaps with side skirts too) is definitely something i'd like to do. Does anyone know if they would fit fine on a coupe, not sure i've seen any aero front bumpers on coupes before! I would assume they have identical mounting to the facelift roadsters?

I seem to be the only one who prefers the standard skirts?

By the time I have finished my list I might have changed my mind. Although that's years away - and seems to be getting longer and longer... :cry:

Don't quote me but I can't see them being any different.

Aero bumper on a Coupe would look odd imo as it's designed on the prefacelift car and all coupes were facelift

Perhaps a z4m bumper would do the trick then? Mines got a good low stance but can't help but think it could look meaner

I'm with you.........

Not long, popped a pair of colour coded Aero side skirts on my Z4M R....
Difference is crystal clear... A positive, but very subtle visual effect, gained :thumbsup:

Everyone to their own however..
Cheers :driving:
Me too, I'm really pleased with the lines of the new side skirts

IMO the aero skirts don't look any better OR worse than the standard...just different ! When you factor in what they cost + painting and the fact that only people on this forum would even notice the difference, then I just don't think they're worth the expense. If they were on a car when I bought it then fair enough otherwise I wouldn't be bothered. However I REALLY like the Aero front bumper ! :thumbsup:

You can pick up side skirts for £300. That's not painted though.

I'm getting the skirts next year to go with the bumper I got this year. I personally prefer the original rear bumper and I'm not too fussed about the spoiler. I like the discrete spoiler we already have.
Aero kits aside! What about the satellite dish? That's a 1st! :rofl:
