Opinions on 540 ducts:

[E34 530]

Sorry to be a post whore tonight, but it's coming down to the wire before the car goes in for paint. Just got the 540 ducts and got a new idea. How do you guys think it would look if he ducts were mounted below the "lip" instead of molded into it?

Example:

Molded definately looks better

IMO i think you would have ahrd time keeping them on. I also was wondering if you had to remove that center piece on the bumper to mount a euro plate. I havea euro plate but it doesnt fit quite flush.

Yeah, it's a seperate piece, different from the U.S. one. I just bought the piece from the dealer today.

they look just like my car did 2-3 years ago if you add a extra piece from a broken bumper to fill the gap between them they look a little better, quite strong too, i grounded mine many times including a couple times on mud roads hard enough to cram the duct full of mud
