Pre-painted spoiler

What is the best pre-painted M Performance spoiler to buy?

I'm looking for one that is cheap too, but must look the same as the OEM one.

I saw this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231805896964

Is there anything better?

Any links to good ones?

What's the approximate cost for a paint job on one?

That's a big jump in price. I wonder if they'd let me make them an offer!

That one doesn't look like the OEM one though! The OEM one is bigger and the profile of the cut out section on the back is completely different.

There is a huge post in the main forum on these cheap spoilers from eBay, perhaps do a search and you can find it.

The overwhelming sentiment is they are fine quality and generally the paint colour is a great match.

Over the last few years I have put two on my F30's, one mineral gray and one havana, and they were great with perfect match paint.

Yes mine was pre painted and in my eyes is a perfect match in mineral grey, emotors 2000 was the eBay seller.

Just as good as the splitter I bought unpainted and got a local body shop to do it.

I think quite a few have got them from here.

Same for me, MG from emotors 2000 and it's a great colour match. 1 year in still very happy. Mine was an M3 style so can't comment on how OEM looking their MP style one is.

Is this the one that people have bought from emotors 2000?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321647436978

For some reason the price is in USD. I assume there could be a customs charge too?

That is who I bought both my spoilers from. Only £78 with free delivery in this listing:

Yes you'll probably have to pay a customs charge, only around £15 though.

Another vote for emotors on eBay. Great fit and very quick delivery.

Mixed results with the EB colour matching is my concern. What would be the best unpainted one on eBay? Could always get it painted locally.

I had an EB one and it matched perfectly! Only red & white ones have problems

Really keen on getting a rear boot spoiler but can't decide whether to go for a painted one or carbon - my car is Mineral Grey.

Also, from looking through some of the posts there are some different designs.

Will be keeping any eye on this thread for any recommended sellers & designs, please keep the pics coming!

I got the carbon one a year ago and it is still great!
