Cool First impressions; Hamann spoiler and Side Skirts

First impressions; Hamann spoiler and Side Skirts

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just finished installing Hamann front lip spoiler and side skirts on my 04 330Xi. Took these pics this morning. Still need to buff pieces next weekend to bring out shine. Lip spoiler is Fibreglass and skirts are polyurethane.

Final piece is a BMW factory OE rear wing spoiler that is almost ready. Need to paint + clear coat. They were painted, but had a couple of small marks needing touch-up so.......

Included 1 pic of car before.... WInter rims on now. Running 18' M6 Replicas; going on end of March.....

First impressions? Comments?

I like how the bumper looks, it has changed a lot.... and I think the most important thing is that now you car looks different than the one used to do the groceries and pick the kids....

I think that Hamann kit looks great on the pre-facelift cars and horrible with facelift cars because the facelift has smoother lines (from the headlights and front bumper)...

I would have taken it for my car (I've literally thought about doing it)...but for yours, CSL with Splitters

I like the look, but since you're around Hamilton, be prepared to scrape the sh!t out of those pieces going over inclines. Especially that front! Drive CAREFULLY bro!

I like the side skirts, but I'm not sure how I feel about the front. Kinda looks like a double chin I'm sure it looks better in person though.

Looks nice. You definitely need the sideskirts and lip together to make that work. Should look even better with the rear wing.

I think it will need a beefier rear bumper to look smooth all the way around. I'm a big fan of the way you blacked out the bottom center section of the stock bumper though.

Oh, and I LOVE the license plate!

Nice transformation, but I think the Hamman body kit makes the car look a little dated. Still better looking than the OEM kit.

that has been addressed. Was on the shopping list, but was waiting for the "right" set. FOUND THEM!!! Whatcha think now?

18" M6 replicas, running Falken rubber. Custom painte to BMW colour A22: Sparkling Graphite.

Think it made the difference!!!!
