03 525itM POLL: Carbon fiber splitter or painted?

[Fai+H777 0]

My Beemer is arriving around 4th July. Its a silver 2003 525i touring M-Sport.

I can't decide whether to get a CF lip or a body colour lip...

Carbon looks like the one to me. I think it stands out like dogs balls otherwise....

Light colour car, carbon fibre lip

Dark colour car, body colour lip

I was also thinking about cf eyelids and a cf grill, but I'm not sure how it'll turn out.

I voted for carbon fibre but to be honest i wouldnt put that on my car. i think it looks like crap! quality, but crap

[Gus 5]

[Fai+H777 0]

I decided on the CF lip & M5 grill, can't make up my mind on whether to get the eyelids or not.

Why would I pay more for carbon fiber then paint over it ???

[btccm3 1]

to much small carbon =RICE

not for me i think a nice kit color coded to the car but thats just me.

if i paid the coin for a carbon hood or splitter id paint it anyways,

its more about saving weight for me.
