Dont care too much for the rear bumper or hood but everything else looks great. Is it the lighting or is the hood a lil bit off color from the rest of the car?

not feeling it. Hood/rear bumper are too much. cheap ebay angel eyes (I have them too [:@]), grill has gots to go. where are your rings? looks like you're trying to turn it into a Honda!

love the front bumper and the spoiler though...

Why the HELL does everyone keep saying that they like the spoiler?

It's the eBay version and it's the wrong size!
It doesn't even fit across the back of the trunk, so I don't understand why it would be so appealing to everyone.....

I like the spoiler... Jeff how can u tell it doesnt fit? it looks good from my point of view..
unless your being sarcastic... [:-] than nevermind


oh & I agree w/ every 1 that the S4 front bumper looks a lil out of place w/ the Reiger sides & rear bumper.
just my opinion...

Nope. I was being serious.
I know because I ordered an eBay spoiler and the first one that came was the wrong size.
Contacted the seller, they sent me a new one and I swapped the old off my car.
Here is an example of one that doesn't fit, followed by the one that DOES fit.
Go back and check the OP's picture after you look at the differences with mine.

not too sure if his (a4speed) was off e-bay or not....
but the OEM E46 M3 spoiler fits the B5 (w/ the gaps on the side)
also the Topspin spoiler has a lil gap as well...

not sure what 8urv8 has but he has a bit of "gap" as well/...




other samples off B5s -













there isnt a topspin application (that Im aware of) for the B7.
other factors could be the way the lip was applied (as you know theyre very flexible / plyable)
the B7 is a bit wider maybe? & they sent u the B5 or B6 application thus the gap?

anywhooo - wether the lip is a stock E46 m3 , or a e-bay version, or a Topspin - the little gap
really doesnt kill the look on the B5 IMO...

The B7 looks awkward w/ the gap bec. the rear fenders / lights extend further from the trunk than
the B5 does...

Well damn.

I think that summed it up nicely.....
So what did we learn?

1. He has a gap and I don't like it.
2. He may actually have the CORRECT spoiler, because some of them have gaps.

Even so, it's easier to spot the eBay version because of the 2 strips of the 3M tape sticking out from the ends.
I think that this one (below) has the cleanest look to it. I'd be willing to bet money that's not an eBay spoiler.
