Not very common so not seen too often but I think they look OK. Nice 80s retro!

If you are thinking of fitting the kit - go for it. Does it matter if other people like them, as long as YOU do?

^^ very true

although to be honest, with the pain in the ass and hassle, if your in the UK i would go for an mtech kit, as they are so easy to come by here. the breyton kit is nice but only get it if you really want something different. if you just want to tidy up and make your car look pretty go for mtech. up to you completely of course just my 2c

having said that, i havent seen nearly enough breytons for such a good looking kit!

I like them.

Restrained. Stylish. Sets the car off nicely. Makes a nice change to the whole Mtech thing.

Now forgive me if I'm wrong, but surely that is far more stylish and sympathetic to the E30 design than either MTech 1 or 2. I seriously love that!

Personally, I find it a bit bland, doesn't look like much thought went into it. I picture a designer sitting with a picture of a standard E30 then using a magic marker/crayon to make the front lip, sideskirts and rear valance a bit deeper.

But I see I'm in the minority. :D

it's a great kit and up there with m-tech kits and alpina/hartge stuff too

works well on my touring, i only have the rear valance and i had it sprayed 2 tone to match the factory black side skirts and my black iS lip spoiler. I like it anyway and it's a little different. I had the front spoiler and was going to do the same but fibre glass on the front wasn't an option having the car as low as mine.

The only thing i'd want to really finish it off if i could be arsed to spend any money on it would be an M-tech 2 spoiler

It is though a royalratch pain in the arse to fit though
