That splitter does look good :happy2:

I'd keep it black unless you colour code the skirts and rear bumper :smiley:

yes going to leave it black for the moment.

skirts and bumper are colour coded (they will be tonight)

if i decide on painting the front splitter to match, i will buy the dtm style splitter for this rieger as ive already scraped it a few times  :scared:

how much is yours lowered at the front joe?  :laugh:

Like it Dan, you just need some wide / deep dish euro wheels on there to complete the look. If it were me I would have left the skirts in black plastic, it would match the front splitter nicely and keep in theme with the rest of the car  :smiley:

thanks for the input tom  :happy2:

i'd really like some 17" bbs rs like x5pea, its just the price  :scared:

i had two options cc wise, it was either keep black skirts and keep the front bumper/skirt line.

or

get skirts done cw to match the back bumper/skirt line.

i think once the candy white skirts are on maybe get some front mudguards and keep them black to hold the front/side line a little better  :happy2:

Your car is looking very Sweet Dan!  :happy2:

With regard the bra 'ahem'! It's better if you have a person each side when your tightening so it's pulled evenly. Also worth another tighten once it's been on an hour or two. It will probably stretch again when the suns on it!  :happy2:
