Z4 Spoiler thread

[GazHyde]

I've been look at spoilers for the Z4 roadster on and off for a while. Not a fan of the OEM aero ones, prefer some of the following styles more as it gives a more aggressive look.

We seem to be relatively spoilt for choice with the roadie, but Lee is having a nightmare finding a decent one for the Coupe.

Thought I found just what I was looking for and it's $1500... Courtesy of Liberty Walk.

If I could find an Alpina one relatively cheaply I'd be relatively happy, although you can still buy them new...

But at the budget end we have the Mad Max duck tail...

AC Schnitzer produced these wing-lets which I quite like (cheap eBay knocks are available!)

Hamann have this uncomfortable looking monstrosity...

I don't want no sill aerofoil wings... ain't no one needs that kind of down force...

For relative completeness I'll add a pic of the Aero one, else someone will moan...

That liberty walk one looks awesome but very pricey I think either aero or alpina

 

[Antm72]

I too like the liberty walk one .. . .expensive tastes

 

[Shelly]

I like the Liberty Walk one too

The Wing-lets look novel, not seen those before.

 

[5harp3y]

Alpina one is spot on

 

[Brian H]

A painted/body coloured duck tail would look good.

 

[DavidM]

I like the liberty walk too, and the aero spoiler.

They were my second choice Andy, would've wanted to see some fitted before going that route though!

Must admit I'm far to boring to be so "outlandish" but they do look natty and would be a good talking point.

The only trouble with the liberty walk kit is your limited to top speed. It's around 100mph or the wind will rip the kit off...

I guess that's a non-starter then Lee. My boring old standard Aero one has been tested well above that, on private roads obviously.

It's the actual bolt on body kits that are the problem. I helped fit one to a GT-R the guys told me the wind will pull the bolt on panels off. Only a few weeks later this happened, the bonnet delaminated itself on the M25 and split in half.

There, fixed that for you.....

Could've been worse, you could've said I was really exciting. That would just be a fib

That's shocking mate, you would think anything bolted on would stay put!

We have two areos on here now Gaz. But yep one will definitely moan!

 

[Grumps]

I like the white one at the top and the Aero one.
