The carbon rear wing with or without optional gurney flap is said to be of a high-strength, durable lightweight construction with aluminium feet. Aside from looking cool, it boasts a functional increase in downforce at the rear axle.
At the front, a matte black splitter manufactured from Acrylnitril-Styrol-Acrylester requires no painting, also purporting noticeable aerodynamic benefits.
Suspension enhancements comprise height-adjustable coilovers, lowering ride height by up to 40mm. A more conservative set-up can be had, with a 25mm drop.
For the interior, Schnitzer offers aluminium accessories such as a pedal set with matching footrest, a keyholder and a cover for the iDrive system controller.
