MY 08' 135i ALPINE WHITE

Fast Eddie · 06-04-2008, 07:42 PM

What do you all think about this being body color???

Zuzu · 06-04-2008, 07:59 PM

I was thinking of doing the same to my vert..

Motorsports_3 · 06-04-2008, 08:00 PM

Sorry but im not feeling it

monaco1 · 06-04-2008, 08:06 PM

+1 not feeling it either

imported_LiveFast135i · 06-04-2008, 08:13 PM

do the pics do it justice? i feel like if i saw it on the street or at a meet or wherever i'd like it, something different for sure

cozza · 06-04-2008, 08:37 PM

Sorry, but I've gotta say I'm not a fan. I think the contrast between the grey and white really sets off the rear end of the 1er, and give it a more agressive stance. IMO, colour-coding it dulls it down big time...

e36chris · 06-04-2008, 08:39 PM

not feeling it, but you can make us all love it by buying the CF diffuser

stefan · 06-04-2008, 08:40 PM

Yeah.. to be honest.. not the best. It was worth the try though!

chriscecc914 · 06-04-2008, 08:42 PM

looks cool but its more aggressive in black or c/f

blackbubblebum · 06-04-2008, 08:45 PM

Nice but I dont think the white match?!

Zuzu · 06-04-2008, 08:47 PM

IMO it depends on the colour of your car..

In BSM it should look a lot better than the grey standard diffuser..

Obviously nothing looks better than the CF diffuser but here in Oz its about 2.1K accessory...

stefan · 06-04-2008, 08:54 PM

Ouch.. what about getting it from say Dan@United and having it shipped? Even with giant shipping costs, it should be under $2K?

Zuzu · 06-04-2008, 09:06 PM

Still about $2K...
Dan has already priced for us..

SV Concepts III · 06-04-2008, 09:07 PM

I prefer the contrast.

lilsudds7117 · 06-04-2008, 09:08 PM

idk. it is alright. CF is just rediculously tight

I agree.

MrRoboto · 06-04-2008, 09:10 PM

Not feeling it at all. Photoshop is your friend prior to paint.

thesmokingone · 06-04-2008, 09:14 PM

i dont love it but i dont hate it either if this is how it came stock i think i wouldnt have a problem with it

Kris · 06-04-2008, 10:02 PM

Yeah naa. dislike that. Carbon or the standard... nothing else!

M2 · 06-04-2008, 10:18 PM

I'm feeling it......the side view angle looks good and makes the side ground effects flow to the back as one uniform flowing motion. Of course the CF would look better but I think the white looks better than the grey stock "plastic" looking diffuser. And I'm sure it looks better in person too.....how many times do we hear that about this car in general? So I give it the nod of approval. :-)

I do agree that the white is a bit off from the car color. maybe they didn't prime it before they painted it and the grey undercoating is giving it that tint or maybe the paint matching is just off.

Nice1 · 06-04-2008, 10:21 PM

not too bad but i still prefer the stock diffuser color.

gatorfast · 06-04-2008, 10:26 PM

I have to agree with everyone else, not feeling it. The color looks a little off as well. May just be the pics.
