Hi Guys
I have a titanium grey E60.
I have put CF mirrors and Door Pillars, I am considering adding a front lip, roof spoiler and trunk spoiler in unpainted CF.
Does anybody have any pics of such a setup?
I am wondering what the colour contrast will look like.
Regards
Tom

Hey yeah theres quite a few CF parts I want, I wasn't planning on painting them unless I got the cf hood and trunk which in that case I would cover parts with paint and leave parts exposed. I'm not sure about the whole look of silver with black CF parts either which is why I haven't pulled the trigger on lots of it yet.
You could try taking pics of others cars with the spoilers and then phtoshoping the spoilers black to give you an idea, although it always looks different in person.

I think I will have to go all the way with a black roof & shadowline + darker tints so the roof spoiler wont stick out so much, once you start there is no turning back, theres just more and more to do

Heres my 2cents:
If you want to go unpainted CF on silver, I feel that you need to have a pretty aggressive setup. By this I mean Mtech kit (or other kit), wheels, and possibly a drop. Unpainted CF just doesn't look right when you are on stock wheels and the body isn't looking aggressive.
But, do whatever you like. Got to experiment (as i have learned) to see what works, and what doesn't.

I was considering either of these 2 for the front lip?
any suggestions on whether it will look aggressive enough to pull it off?
