Carbon Fibre Rear Valance?

Post by P_G » Sun Nov 04, 2012 1:47 pm

Just an idea I'm toying with. The black pack actually looks good on the car I have but would a carbon fibre part to replace the plastic part be aesthetically better? Problem is it wouldn't stop there as you would probably need other cf parts to compliment it which would be the front grille surround and wing mirror covers ad possibly a custom plitter. Wouldn't do b-pillars as the black finish compliments the rear tints.

What do people think?

Get it wrapped? A cheap way to see if you like it?

I know a local lad who wrapped his roof carbon and it honestly looked great! I've had a CSL and an E92 M3 which both have carbon roofs and it looked almost the same.

Only problem is when you have had proper cf 3M Di-Noc does look pretty pants next to it so not a great comparitive IMO. Might just stick the way it is and improve perfomance instead in the meantime. There is not a huge amount of bits you could cf externally, on the inside however..... :sekret:

MTM do a twin outlet valance like the RS4

There's a pic in last months Audi driver magazine...looks awesome like a proper RS?

Not sure if its carbon though??

The RS3 should have had this OEM ,looks too much like a S3.
