side skirt looks out of place, otherwise goes very well with 7 series lines and not too in your face.

Now that does sit nice. Nothing too brash but enough to give it a bit of substance.

It looks ok Kav, but i think its got a few too many contours and edges, especially on the front bumper.
The 7 series body is pretty clean and simple, I think you need to find a body kit that goes with the flow if you know what i mean. Musty be difficult to find one for a 7 though?

yeah there is not a lot out there for the 7 but I am sure i'll find something I dont want anything mad as that will cause me problems when I want to sell it on.

I really like that, but you knew that already :)
The kit is only suitable for long wheel base 7 series, you would have to chop down the side skirts.
I warn you, the whole kit shipped by the time you pay taxes etc is going to be an easy £1500, perhaps nearer £2k even before fitting and painting.
The Wald one is nice as well and will be a similar price, I think both the kits work in lighter coloured cars as they are very subtle. Black would hide the kit lines.
I warn you, all the Jap kits are fibreglass, I'm not sure whether alpina etc kits are ABS plastic, if so, they are superior.
The official Wald dealer for UK is Premier Auto Designs in Harrow.

Hi Dan hope your cool yeah i heard there fiber glass the Hamann kit on my 5 was the same but very good quality so for now I may just order the front lip. to get an idea of quality I know Premier Auto Design would add 100% mark up on the wald kit lol. My friend works in a bodyshop so were paint and fit it together after hours :-) another midnight modding session LOL youknow how it is :D

I like it, but they forgot the wide rear and front quarters and the holes for the 10 exhausts out the side :D
I prefer it to the Wal kit bro :cool:

Not seen a kit I've liked for any of those type of big cars to be honest. Somehow looks wrong. I like the Gansta' look though...simple, big drop and massive 22'

Too subtle...

i thinkg just a heavy drop and a set of 22's with a lip spoiler on the back would doo it...maybe a custom exhaust and have the bumper tailoured to it...

The exhaust I'm waititng for a quote there gonna amend the bumper to take it the springs have already been ordered as many people dont mod the e65 there is a 3 week wait. I still want a kit though lol!

I think you need a kit for the 7 series, especially front bumper lip as the bumper kind of disappears too quick.
Even if you drop the car it can sometimes look like it isn't that low.

yeah i agree. The car comes back from BMW today after I got the bonnet repainted as the dealer i brought it from lied about the number of stomes chips they said about 10 I counted 47 so they paid for that. what I am getting done is them to also color code the black grills on the bumper and the rear black strip on th erear bumper. They have also painted the outside kidney grill black so for now it should look ok dropped on 20". I do need to get the quad exhaust done as my mates keeps calling me a taxi PMSL!
