It looks really nice. I am still undecided as to whether or not you should paint it though. Black doesn't look bad, but maybe paint the top half the blue color and leave the bottom black. | | | | | 12-05-2005, 02:02 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
Is that the same one I bought, and just had painted? I sure would like to see it in better detail. I'm not mounting mine till spring. I plan to install the Reiger hatch spoiler and roof spoiler whne the weather clears. Quote: | Originally Posted by Matt-UK It was getting dark so the pix came out ****! I might leave it black?

looks really nice from what i can see, i don't have any objections to leaving it black either | | | | | 12-05-2005, 06:24 AM | #6 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |
yeah, need better pics.
btw, can you actually drive up on those ramps or did you jack it up and then put the ramps underneath? i can't drive up on my ramps, even with the ramp extensions they sell, my front bumper hits. i had to get 2x8s to allow a shallower angle of accent. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

ha...well matt can you drive off them now? I think I do like black just fine, but more pics. | | | | | 12-05-2005, 06:44 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: England Posts: 177 |
Its a standard bumper with reiger infinity lip spoiler. lol yeah i realised this when i offered the ramps up, to get an idea of wheel allignment and realised i could just about drive up them with the standard bumper. I used the ramps so i could test fitment, drill holes and stuff. I had to take it off after and then reverse from the ramps but now all the holes are drilled its just a case of slipping the bolts through and tightening which can be done without them. Oh yeah im gunna get it sprayed! then i`ll wak it back on. and take pictures. IN DAYLIGHT!  | | | | | 12-05-2005, 07:21 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
I'd be curious to see if you can drive up the ramps with the spoiler lip attached. I have the same lip ready to install, but my ramps seem to have a longer gradient, that should help.

What does "poke the ramp" mean? Was it a problem drilling through the bottom of the front bumper, being made of plastic? Quote: | Originally Posted by Matt-UK Nah L8, I poked the ramp before i mounted! maybe a longer gradient yeah. | __________________

lol. slang er means push.
What i should of said is-
"Nah L8, the bumper pushed the ramp before it could even get close! maybe a longer gradient so i get more ground clearance".
I think i was stoned. Anyway, i got a new drill bit set so it went through no trouble. | | | | | 12-08-2005, 05:52 AM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
The edge of my garage has a lip about an inch high. I just put the ramps up to the edge. That way they can't slide back when I go up the ramps. I may install that lip soon. I will definitley use my clamps to see how good it looks mounted. Quote: | Originally Posted by Matt-UK lol. slang er means push.
