Just toying with a few ideas at the moment, I really like the Breyton bodykit, having said that I also really like the look of the front end with the IS lip that I have at the moment, so my plan is to have the Breyton rear valance and keep the IS lip on the front, I was also going to strip all the stone chip from the front valance and get it repainted without stone chip for a nice smooth finish, other plans are to replace the boot lid with a non spoiler one for a nice clean look. I really just want some opinions, will it look a little un balanced with just the rear valance???? Also what are peoples thoughts on colour coded door trims and bumper inserts, personally I have never seen it done, I have colour coded door handles and I really like them but just not sure about having the rest colour coded.

Hi, I think jon_bmw (not sure on exact username) has a Breyton rear valence with an IS front lip and SE skirts on his 318is - there are some photo's in the photo gallery somewhere.

I think it looks great, not mis-matched or anything.

Not sure if colour coding the door trims and bumper inserts would be overkill, only one way to find out i guess!

Its me with the breyton rear, off Si's silver touring. I have now got used to it alot more and prefer it to when I orginally put it on. I still think it looked better on a touring though.

It almost needs higher sideskirts to balance with the higher rear valance. Anyhow, there are a few naff photos in the photo gallery if you want to have a look.

Tbh, I thought your car looked excellent as it was. :thumb:
