Vert Body Options

Rock1965 · 04-14-2014, 03:39 PM

I notice that a lot of coupes have some nice aftermarket options added to their cars (Diffusers, Truck Lips, etc). How about those with convertibles? I would like to see some options of what members have done to their verts? I was thinking about a truck lip but not sure how it would look on it versus how it looks on the coupes.

Rob Daman · 04-14-2014, 09:46 PM

did you mean trunk lip?

i think verts need the spoiler more than the coupes since they have a nice curve to them already.

i bought a ebay spoiler for a coupe but heated it up to fit the vert better.

bmw sells a carbon fiber one specially made for a vert if you're looking for best fitment.

Rock1965 · 04-14-2014, 10:05 PM

Yes I meant spoiler. This is exactly what I needed. We have the same color car too.

Do you have a full side view of your car? Looks bad-ass from what I can see.

this is today when i got home after getting an alignment.

i'll be taking better pics soon

Would be cool to see a Slek CSL style trunk on a vert

How would the eBay trunk lip have fit if you didn't heat it? Been thinking about getting one for my e88 but wasn't sure about fitment

Rob Daman · 04-15-2014, 01:32 AM

i bought mine from this vendor here but the painted version. what caught my attention was this listing showed a vert with the wing.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-fiber...vip=true&rt=nc

you'll notice that the ends are lifted some. I heated it to avoid that and also the middle so i can lay it downward and flat vs on top.

Any other verts out there with exterior mods?

Converted1 · 04-16-2014, 04:40 PM

I have the oem cf spoiler on my 09 Msport Space Grey/Moonlight Black/Lemon Cabrio. The fitment and coordination with the shadowline trim and paint and roof look amazing. The only thing I feel is out of step on my car is odd colored factory diffuser. Trying to decide if I should get the oem CF, aftermarket, or wrap the stock. I'll try to get some pics up.

Senres · 04-19-2014, 05:50 AM

I also have the oem cf spoiler and like how it looks with the alpine white trunk and high gloss black trim. If it stops raining here I can try to snap a pic

Rob Daman · 04-20-2014, 11:23 PM

shots i took last night with my friend's Fiesta ST

added a schmiedmann replica cf lip and blacklines

zamboni · 04-21-2014, 02:08 AM

i used a heat gun. apply and flex it. then check fitment. not hard. just have to be patient.

BMW Performance cf diffuser installed today as well as plastidipped the 135i emblem.

SmittyM3 · 05-08-2014, 02:22 PM

What do you guys think...CF or painted on my Crimson Red? ...want the front lip and spoiler to match colors.
