Pic Request: 540 Brake Ducts

[///Sniper535]

I'm probably going to do this upgrade, so I would like to see a few pics of these done.

Thanks!

I just noticed i see only the driver's side duct. Do i have two and the other one is covered? I can't even remember..lol.

heres the one i built on the bottom of the stock bumper instead of cutting the bumper out for the ducts

That looks pretty good Winfred. Are those just ducts with a attached center section or did you cut the whole thing off of another car?

Here is stock btw:

those look rather different than what i assumed were brake ducts you can see on mine. Is that opening next to the foglight on my driver's side a brake duct?

[winfred]

i chopped a section out of a broken bumper to make the center filler piece so it's effectively like i ban sawed the bottom off of a 540 bumper and bolted it to the bottom of a regular bumper (not exactly sure if that approach would work)

the little ducts next to the fog lights are the tow hook covers from a turbo diesel e34, a neat little touch that most don't catch, i am surprised they were on my car when i got it

the profile view is what i want to see more but it's kinda dark to actually see it.

you don't have brake ducts

i have some that are even darker :D
you can just catch the edge of it in this one to see where it is in relationship to the regular bumper
