Default That type looks great on my color (cashmere gray ((purple))) but I'd recommend OEM BMW . . .

because that one on ebay looks just like the one I bought that I had to sand and bend spending like 1.5 hours on. OEM BMW goes for like $130 but sounds like it's worth every penny.

Default I think it looks good on silver cars, red cars...

perhaps a bit less visible on the dark colors since the shadow is not as pronounced, but still a nice look.

Go OEM. Worth the extra $$$.

Default I think it's the one I have on my car. (Black)

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/18626/coilovers_003.jpg"></center><p>Quality was fine (I elected not to paint it, so it is a matte finish), but it comes flat. To fit the trunk it needs to be bent. The 3M tape will not hold the bend for long.

So if you get it, try to use a heat gun or something to pre-bend it to the trunk's shape.

I'd go OEM BMW if I had to do it again.

Default What did you do to solve your problem of the corners pulling up? I'd

consider yours; but, not the larger ones. IMO they distract from the natuaral beauty of the A6's rear, while yours seems to enhance it.

Default I really don't like to discuss it, but....

... I put anodized sheetmetal screws into the ends (countersunk). Very painful, but I figured that if it had utterly failed, I would be getting a BMW OEM spoiler over the holes anyway.
