Do you guys think a BMW E60 5 Series roof spoiler will fit our CU2's? There's this guy on another forum in America or something that put a replica on his... But I'm scared to pay $200 for one :\

They shoul be fined for looking like a twat.

If you don't wanna take a risk better keep your car standard Fredoops.

there's always risk with serious mods, so it's not for the fainthearted

wow i dont post for ages and this thread gets pushed to second page lolz

man u guys remember how i was complaining about hitting something under my car against the gate stopper poking up from the ground in my driveway? like a clunk.
well i stayed at my uncles place over the weekend...and he has an even higher plate/stopper poking up from the ground. i caught the train to work and told him to reverse the car into his driveway. when i came to pick it up at night....i drove 200m down the road, hit the brakes at a red light, nose of the car dipped a few cm cause of the braking...then SCRAPPPEEEEEEEEE. i was like WTFFFF BBQQQ WAS THAT?!

so i kept driving but didnt hear anything....until i got to a slightly bumpy road, then....SCRAPPe SCRAPEEE SCRAPITY SCRAPPEEEE!
so i pulled the car over. walked around the car, expecting the worst...lilke the bodykit fell off or something. but could see anything wrong!!!

when i finally got home, i pulled out a flashlight and looked under my car...and oh my fukn god....basically when my uncle reversed, his stopper thing latched onto the heatshield underneath the car and ripped half of it off. so basically i had a gigantic plate bend into an upside down L shape poking down underneath my car. it hung lower than my crazy low bodykit. so every tiny downward jolt would scrape the edge of the alumnium plate.

next day i tried jacking the car up to look underneath and tried to wack the plate up a bit to hopefully increase the distance between the edge and the ground, since i had no time to go to mechanic that day
i didnt have one of those stands u use to hold up the car, so as i was laying bricks (lol) whoda guessed it, the car started sliding backwards and basically tilted off the car jack nearly crushing my hand. then the car jack got stuck between a brick and my side skirts -_-
so then i had to call my cousin to come lend me his jack so i cud get the thing out. Sighs

finally i took it to a mechanic, who had to drive my car onto a plank of wood and use 2 car jacks to lift my car up cause mine was so damn low she cudnt fit anything underneath lol.
then she unscrewed it and re rivtted the plate back together. malletted the thing flat and screwed it back on, ensuring that she bend it upwards a bit to prevent hooking again (the exhaust now sits lower than the heat shield does). and yes the mechanic was this 19 year old tiny little asian girl who i could no believe was the one fixing my car. and she totally knew her stuff.

so $40 down, an uncrushed hand, and a newlly hammered heatshield later, i have minimal "clunk" inssues when driving. That being said having my car lowered still gives me nightmares as i have to deal with scraping the underside of my lip everytime i go into a gas station cause of their STUUUUUUUPIDLY designed driveways.

Also in regards to buying bigger rims to elevate the car, the girl told me that it wouldnt work because getting bigger mags means i have to get lower profile tyres, offsetting each other....
the only other way is to get bigger mags or higher profile tyres without offsetting each other, thereby having a bigger diameter overall. which is what i wanted. but the down side is that my wheels wont be rolling at the correct speed the odomoter is reading due to the increased circumference....and messing with ur odometer is illegal....so FAROUT MAN...damned if u do, damned if u dont

i have pics of the whole sequence of events, which i will post at a later date when i can be bothered.

on another matter, i popped the hood the other day and had a close look at the air intake. it appears that our stock intake feeds air in from the upper right part of the grill (when facing the car) and draws the air down a pipe, THEN BACK UP AGAIN in a loop wtf, then feeds into the airbox. thats so freaken stupid??
by removing the resonator, it just makes the feed inlet grill/filter thing a free floating useless box, and the airbox is sucking in air vertically downwards? so i fail to see how removing the resonator will make it better cause its not allowing the inlet to face oncoming air lilke the stock configuration does (despite its nonsensical, direction changing loopidy loop)
