Best fit replica m perf front splitter

JOE YOUNG · 03-25-2016, 01:00 PM

Can anyone recommend a good fit replica F30 front m performance splitter?

It's just that I have read in some US forums than there are bad fitting replicas.

Hi Joe,

This is the one I bought... Proper replica, two-piece, fits just like OEM. I'm extremely happy with mine. It's been on nearly 6 months now...

Thanks a lot mate. I shall get that one then and the price isn't actually bad. Deliver wise, are they quick?

How about the side extension? Have you put them on your car as well?

t5pilot · 03-25-2016, 02:03 PM

I seem to remember delivery was fairly quick, but can't remember exactly... I haven't got the side extensions... Yet. I do like them but the ones i've seen so far seem to be silly money. If you have any links, please share!

Any pics?

I got a splitter and diffuser from this seller on eBay...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/abr.automotive

And the fit was very bad although to be fair the guy refunded straight away once I returned them to him but I wouldn't buy from him again.

I've also noticed he's opened a new account selling the same stuff, I'll let you make your own minds up about that one but there's lots of neutral feedback on his original account...

Thanks for that. But its too late now. I've ordered one.

If i got the same fitment as t5pilot, then we'll see what happen. Fingers cross it will be a good fit.

Cheers.

Can you post some pics of the fitment when you get a chance, thanks.

Here's a link to a German company selling the replica sill extension and vinyl kit. They seem pretty legit and you can't knock German quality... ;-)

Or here's a link to a UK company selling original BMW parts;

I know...I actually have these saved in my Ebay. But it will take 4-8 weeks delivery.

I don't want to be a Guinea pig

and I'm not exactly sure they will be made in Germany. I bet they will order it from China or Taiwan.

For the UK one. I have emailed them if those are kit, rather than just the extensions. Because the OEM ones should come with installation instruction and mounting kit.

Cheers

The advert for the German versions state its 2 day international delivery?

At £80 including postage and a returns policy on a seller with that level of feedback, it might be worth a try...

dizzy619 · 03-27-2016, 04:59 PM

I noticed they also do front splitter side sills and rear diffuser for £299....

So, what do they mean by this "Watch out! Batten accessories are expected to be delivered until in 4-8 weeks!"
Batten means attachment right?

C5_GBO · 03-27-2016, 05:43 PM

Ahhh, didn't read that bit... Cheeky B@stards!

Misleading that they are providing an estimated arrival date of 30th March if ordered today!

IKR. Cheeky Germs!

JOE YOUNG · 04-12-2016, 02:06 PM

Here it is. Thanks to t5pilot for recommending this. Fitment is 9/10. Very good quality as well. Very happy.

a803sgo · 04-12-2016, 02:25 PM

Nice, got any closeup pics especially of the far edges?

Did you get the uprights professionally sprayed or DIY them out of a can?

DIY. Patience was the key. Took me a week painting and sanding plus crap UK weather. Painted the lower part with matt black as the unpainted looks plasticky. I haven't even buffed it yet.

Yah. Very difficult to keep clean. Dirt and dust magnet. But hey, it gives us an excuse to wash the car.
