This is EXACTLY what the R56 needs in the rear to lower its stance. Nice!

the front looks fantastic, and no clearance problems? doesn't get any more perfect than that. the rear is pretty nice, but a bit weird. do they function?

Rear Splitter and custom grille work

I am not sure as to the aerodynamic function of the rear splitter, but the final version of the rear splitter included custom grille work for aesthetic purposes I feel that if helps to fill in some of the empty space below the rear bumpers. As far as clearance problems, the front spoiler is very low and requires that I am extremely careful when parking, especially after I had my H&R lowering springs installed.

weird.

seriously, very weird.

they don't follow the factory lines of the r56 at all.

Now, had you modified the front splitter so it rounded out and followed the factory lines, it'd look great. it just looks very weird.


I think it might look better if you got the trims at the bottom of the bumper painted. without that, it looks like something weird just stuck on the bottom of your bumper.

glad you like it, seems like lots of other people on here do.

I'm with this guy. If you like it then that is what matters, but to me it just looks 'tacked on'.

I think if anything, it would look better if it was black. having more body color below the black trim makes the car look unfinished or something.
