Sounds good.

Strange to hear it gets louder as it cokes up with soot?!

Normally they get quieter once the inside gets lined with carbon/soot etc.

Still sounds like a nice day to day compromise to me.

Nice design as well.

How about a colour coded Wald rear deck spoiler?

Seen a couple on white cars, and really think they look good when applied properly.

Not saying your F needs anything else (that's down to you as the owner! Lol), but if I was in your position, that would probably be my next modification.

Oh boy.. Don't get me started.. Were you thinking about performance or aero? Whatever category you need, I can definitely make sure you get what you want!

LOL Josh nice one...

I may be in contacts soon!

PDP yeah I had a WALD rep (previous pics) with a horrible paint match so I ditched it.. I actually have a 3pce Aimgain rear spoiler all painted up and sitting in my garage.. however id need to get a 250/350 boot lid without the ISF spoiler holes and have that paint matched and fitted which seems to be a total pain.. but maybe...

Nice!

Trouble is I'd want the Aimgain front bumper as well!

Really isn't much else I'd change! Carbon parts would look nice against the white paint (Novel fender ducts, mirror extensions, vented hood etc), but once you start down that route, you can't stop (trust me! Lol).

Guessing it should be pretty straightforward finding the boot lid you'll need?

I'm a big fan of pretty much every tuning part Rafi and Simon are selling over at RR-Racing.

Their titanium intake pipe would look great with your white paint.

Engine cover painted in black and white could be another nice visual touch? Liked mine when I had it painted in matching SGM.

Let us know if you decide to fit the spoiler though mate.

Just wait for what RR-Racing has in store...

The titanium intake does look great too.

I think I'm going to stock some Aimgain ISF bumpers.. Seems like a lot of people like them.

Sounds like a plan to me Josh.

Then I will be buying something from you!

Be good to skip the waiting period! It's 3 months isn't it?!

My Aimgain stuff took 6 months.. I'm getting my through a different way now, so the process should be a lot quicker!
