Yay or Nay?

[NZ_M3]

Have decided to get me replica painted ... and added a lip ...

Should I or shouldn't I? :hahaha:

Am trying to imagine it on the car but my first thought was Nay. It may look better imo once on the car though.

I cannot see the lip to be honest.

[NZ_M3]

Was intending on using this for trackdays ... just in case I damaged the real thing ...

The lip is a single piece splitter from Vorsteiner rather than the individual left and right splitter ala OEM.

Be a bit sacrilegious putting replica CSL bumper on a real CSL though :bigcry:

That's not a bad idea.

i had exactly the same thoughts. trouble is the splitters look naf tbh, all of them

i did quite fancy the Viras one though

That looks like a very good replica bumper, who manufacturers it?

For trackdays I think that would be great, I quite like the splitter too, something different ;) :thumbs:

[englebert]

My first thought would be that it is a fake CSL!

Its from Vorsteiner my front bumper is one of theirs, they are a pita to install but look good once on (mine is with normal splitters).

Here are some pics of the "race splitter" on a cab.

Ding ding ding .. correct, it's a Vorsteiner replica.

I am surprised that you say it is a PITA to install .. I actually find it 'easier' to install and align compared to the OEM bumper - you just have to use the right method to do it.

One thing though, it does add quite a bit more weight to the front end of the car :bigcry::banghead:

Never installed an OEM one, but to get the Vorsteiner sitting perfectly it takes a long time, I had to dremel the slider mounting holes, etc.

[glendog74]

I like the one piece Tom - especially in track guise with no front plate or carrier :thumbs:

Yeah, tell me about it! Just been for a quick blast for the first time in two months and made myself 2 hours of cleaning work before it goes back in the garage.:bigcry:

Worth it though. I forget how much fun it is to drive.:smokin:

Dan (driftit) from bimmersport.co.nz took this video on his phone camera as I was flying by yesterday (I am the first car) - the second CSL is Rob's (also a member on here, altough I don't think he posts much).
