Can you spot the difference: e90 m3 rep skirts

Hey I ordered a set of replica side skirts from an ebay seller. I thought I was receiving the ones in the second picture but got the ones in the first. Was wondering if you guys knew where I can get the second. Thanks

OP, i'm 90% sure they're the same. You're just looking at it from a different angle. I think the angle from the first picture makes the shadows more pronounced so you can see the line of the skirt, while the first one seems to be shot without direct sunlight, so not as much shadow to contrast.

No, the one in the second picture is a M Sport side skirt which the seller incorrectly pictured. Lol

But OP, the sellers description is for M3 side skirts which is what you bought. Looks a lot better anyways so I would keep the ones you have.

Nah they're diff. One looks like an e92 m3 side skirt but for e90 and the other looks like a better version of m tech sides (IMO)

Ok so to make it easier to see the difference I've posted pictures. Now I know this makes me look crazy but if you look closely you can see the first picture is an e92 replica side that they transformed(unfortunately) into an e90 side, which I'm not a fan of and is sitting in my house now. The second picture is either a real e90 m3 side they fit to a non M or a replica that does exist that I was hoping to get. The third picture is an m sport side for comparison. The difference is very subtle I know but it's not the same as the m3 and the 4th picture is an m3 which I believe is the same side skirt as the second picture. The final two are a clearer look at what the replicas I received look like on the car
