What splitter and side skirts

flashollie · 07-29-2019, 05:30 AM

Whats the opinion these?
Genuine BMW ones or Maxton or any others?
I have a black 335d F31. I am tempted by front side and back.
But I want them to be subtle nothing huge or in your face.
I am also thinking of colour coding them to match the colour so they stay understated.
Pictures, advice and opinions welcome.

I have the OEM front splitter and side skirts. I installed them myself and the fit was perfect! They look great. I've heard aftermarket ones have slight fitment problems so I just went with the OEM ones. The were a little more money but was worth it for me. Hope this helps!

I went for a pre-painted gloss black non-OEM splitter and diffuser. not fitted the splitter yet, but the diffuser wasn't a perfect, probably needed to be 2-3mm wider.

It's still on a week or so later, so not all bad.

If you're colour matching, get non-OEM, the Maxton ones are meant to be a decent fit.

I went with the OEM versions on my Tanzanite Blue F31...... matt finish is nicely understated. I have them but you can go without the M Performance decals on the side which would look a little more understated.

Looked as a few with the shiny bits fitted before I bought my car and glad I went OEM.

There are deals to be had on OEM.... I used a listing on ebay to get the $tealer to price match on my new car. If you go on the bay make sure the kit is from a BMW dealer...... there are a few about e.g. for a saloon...
