I've recently installed some OEM front splitters, which i had colour coded and now look great. Also had my windows tinted but that's another story (had them retinted over weekend but waiting for them to settle). Will try and take some new pics when I get chance.
Run out of cash at the minute but blacklines will be next...

Butch · 09-12-2010, 07:45 PM

Oh yeah, I swapped all the roundels for black/white ones too

Butch · 09-13-2010, 03:14 PM

Took some new pics on way to work... including new roundels, front splitter and 35% tints

Looks cool, any idea if Pirelli P-Zero run-flats in 225/35 R19 front and 255/35 R39 rear would go on 230's am planning to get for my E90 or would they touch etc.?
Thanks

E92BSM10 · 09-17-2010, 02:39 AM

Nice wheels

Butch · 09-17-2010, 05:57 PM

Thanks for the comments peeps - front tyre size is ok, rear tyre size should be 255/30/19.

matt@stratford · 09-18-2010, 06:17 AM

Splitters look good. Did they go on ok?

nice splitters, just got some rep ones that need to put on shortly, did you do a self install?..

Butch · 09-19-2010, 06:23 AM

Splitters were a bit of a pain to be honest - I followed the DIY guides I'd read on the forum, I first tried it with No Nails double sided tape, but one side came loose after a couple of days.

So I then got some 3M tape, used lots and lots of tape and also put some Impact glue on back of splitters, then using a piece of wood and rags (so not to damage the paint) I wedged the wood up against a brick wall and the side of the splitters for a couple of hours to make sure they bonded properly... no problems since

cruvon · 10-08-2010, 07:05 AM

how about painting your calipers unless u wanted get a brembo brake kit

..not sure if in red or silver though..the 230's open up nicely to expose the callipers

SpmnE9zero · 10-08-2010, 07:10 AM

Much better, now just drop her and add some 10mm spacers on the rear and your golden!

E92BSM10 · 10-08-2010, 12:32 PM
