Honestly? No. I've spent a while looking for splitters I like. The only ones that came close were the BMWP ones that fit to the aero kit bumper

Did you pick those up from Orlin? If so then they were originally mine...



I think they look much better on black...

i have to say it looks better on black than white. Just my opinion though!

I'd recommend the Kerscher front splitter/lip. You can buy it locally for less than buying from the USA now. I just got mine fitted today- looks great

I don't think any splitter looks good without a drop. I'd look into that before spending more on another splitter...

Saying that though, I agree that the Kerscher is the way to go

Put on the black kidney's today. I think it looks better than with the splitters alone (they are growing on me).

You're right. Adding the Black Kidneys brings it all together. Looks fantastic.
