Help deciding... Rear Bumper on AW

SE3P_to_E90 · 10-05-2006, 08:43 PM

Just bought an AW M-technik front bumper...

i am not going to get blacklines... i will def pick up whitelines if they become available, but from the looks of it, it looks highly unlikely...

Anyway, i LOVE the m-tech rear bumper, but i'm not such a big fan of the rear diffuser or black part on ONLY Alpine Whites...

Is this the m-tech rear bumper, but painted? Also, how much do they normally go for, and how much is it (approx) to paint?

Or is it the "studie" rear? Does anyone know where i can get this?

it looks like mtech rear bumper and painted to white.

IraXI · 10-05-2006, 08:49 PM

eww.. not feelin it

just4kickz · 10-05-2006, 08:56 PM

needs a spoiler

Nikki · 10-05-2006, 08:58 PM

I think it would look better black probably.

bavarian19 · 10-05-2006, 08:58 PM

it is the OEM msport rear, just painted all white... not a bad look...

I would say do that, but you will need some sort of rear spoiler on.... rear diffuser looks kinda silly without one...

SE3P_to_E90 · 10-05-2006, 09:24 PM

ii was going to put the oem trunk spoiler...
but i feel that the black overdominates the white...

u guys don't liek the all white?

canucklion · 10-05-2006, 10:15 PM

black would contrast it well

Whitelines......

A million magic crystals, painted pure and white
A multi-million dollars almost overnight
Twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt
And if you get hooked, baby, it's nobody else's fault, so don't do it.........

it's the new Ipod.

and DICE link kit from EAS. I can control it through the steering wheel of the M. Good times....

MonacoBimm · 10-05-2006, 10:52 PM

It would Look awsome with the black part painted gloss black. It would also look cool to have the window frames gloss black, and the grills painted gloss black. IMO That looks really cool in white.

SE3P_to_E90 · 10-05-2006, 11:38 PM

idk... wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the diffuser?

he's not a POET, he's a DRUG ADDICT!! j/k

thanks for your help guys... i mean, i really thought you guys would like it, but i guess you like the original look better.

Question... when you buy the M rear, does the black part come black? or do you have to paint that as well?

shragon · 10-06-2006, 12:31 AM

i think it looks great painted or not.

and that pic is a good example of how good blacklines look on aw.

I agree, the 'diffuser' of the rear bumper looks good unpainted/black. The M Sport rear bumper looks nice because of the contrast between car colour and diffuser!

remmib · 10-07-2006, 07:07 AM

looks good painted white, but I seen pics of AW with black diffuser and that look good too. Point is, it will look good either way.

ksfrogman · 10-07-2006, 08:32 AM

The M diffuser already comes graphite in color, not black. Personally, I feel black may be too much of a contrast against white.

IMO a white diffuser looks fine, but I think most people are hating on the look of the rear photo, because it's distorted with a wide angle lens. Looks squarish, and out-of-proportion in the pic.

SE3P_to_E90 · 10-07-2006, 03:53 PM

ks, that's a solid point...

i do believe that the graphite color contrasts a tad bit too much w/ the overall white color...

on black and SG, the rear looks perfect... on white, it's questionable.

ksfrogman · 10-07-2006, 03:56 PM

FYI, the diffuser on my car as shown in the sig is Flat Graphite, compared with the body color which is glossy.

SE3P_to_E90 · 10-07-2006, 04:42 PM

yea, i think that looks perfect on your body/color...

and i just ordered the same front bumper... if this helps, i also got the matteback front blackout grill... BAH!

froggman ur car is BANGIN'
