Which Lip / Mirrors [Archive]

Ok, I'm nearing the end of my 6month modding mission. It will finish with my trip to infinitas on 14th April, but before I go I wanna finish everything else however there are a couple of things which I need some advice on.

1. Which boot spoiler to go for (330sport vert)? Anyone got any pic's of say the standard one, alpina one, schnitzer one etc. actually on cars? Not lookin for anything big, just a slimline spoiler.

2. I've got the OEM M3 mirrors, but am wondering whether the ACS one's would look better?

Any advice appreciated.

cheers

good luck in germany man.

1) i hear good things about teddy's new 3 piece.

2) i personally like the oem m3 ones over the acs ones

Definitely go for the 3-piece ACS spoiler - they look cool!!

And the oem M3 mirrors are cool, and foldable.... the ACS ones restrict your view as well as looking like a 316/318 modded.... unless you go for the full ACS package.

Don't change things for the sake of changing... spend the money on performance mods or interior ones.. ;)

Teddy has got a prototype spoiler for the verts. One piece but slightly bolder than the M-Tech. Saw it in person yesterday and it looks good!

Cheers guys

Teddy - you got any pic's? and is the ACS 3 piece not for coupe's only?
Anyone got any pic's of the standard m-tec lip?

Will probably keep the M3 mirrors on there for the time being.

Cheers

Gotta be Schnitzer for me

It beefs up the rear really nicely. I've got an agressive front end, and this balances it out nicely

Westside - you can get the whole rear end package for a vert from BMW for about 350qid, including LED lights, white LED bootlid light and different bootlid lights (reverse lights). It looks [ok

mmm, Fas you've got me thinking Schnitzer now! Anyone got any pic's of an alpina one on a vert?

Cheers

Thanks

D'oh! Just read your last post again...I didn't expect BMW to sell the entire rear end for that price...r u sure of this?

Looks good, but not sure about it to be honest! Might just go for the m-tec, like you get on the coupe's.

Yep, 350 from the BMW dealers for the led rear lights, bootlid led light and two reverse lights, including connector leads.

Been there, done that.

Better to leave it stock than to put the M3 lip on

Teddy has the convertible lip spoilers in development, not sure when they'll be ready though. Mine's an original, I'll PM you in a sec with the details

hi

what about this one ? http://www.ca-automotive.co.uk/images/rear-wing-fitted.jpg

it is designed for coupe but with some careful reshaping to underside it can fit the vert , and is quite rare , and has that carbon insert at the end .

For me its either this one or the Alpina lip Lee posted up .

kris d

24-03-2005, 10:20 AM

That's looking good also roy, decisions decisions!
Got to be the ACS one in the end, coz I've got loads of other ACS bits, so would match best.

Cheers for all the help guys.

that looks sweet teddy, is it the same as the schnitzer? when's it available and how much?

Nice looking 330 there as well, is the acs badge on the left the same as the one from the dealers? and where'd you get the lettering on the other side from mate? wouldn't mind some of that on mine!

Cheers

Kris
