Just out of curiosity - say you were to get the Hamann front apron, which does come a little lower to the ground ....

You would then need to get sideskirts of some sort to match the line of the front, right?

And then do the same with the back, to match the other two...

Otherwise the front would be lower than the sides?

So exactly how low do these "kit" sideskirts bring things, compared to stock?

I look at photos of the breyton sideskirts and the funky looking hamann one ...

Is it really lower to the ground than the standard?

Supposedly WITH the Breyton Sideskirts:

No sideskirts installed:

I don't know if I see any difference? In fact aesthetically they look identical to stock too. Am I missing something?

Its the color of the car that is making the trick. Since the gap between the wheel and car is black which is the same color of the vehical. It makes the car look low.

If I get front bumper and I would 100% get the side skirts too. It should look balanced in overall.

Tourette's ? :D

It looks to me like the breyton is no lower than the black one ....

They are visually lower but not really lower in suspension terms but the sideskirts give the appearance of a lower car.

Does Breyton make sideskirts for the 6er?
But i do know that the hamann sideskirt for the 6 is taller in height compared to stock...
the ACS' is just add on, but i think it looks the best :D

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

I think his accelerator was a bit delayed and ran off on him when his brain finally engaged. Either that or he accidentally took 3 posting spaces.
