4 Series Grand Coupe - Front Defuser

Hi folks not wishing to buy the BMW Carbon Diffuser, mainly because of the price of the carbon one, so I have been trying to find alternatives and have found this one, which I can get painted black gloss, has anybody bought a third party one like this they could recommend.

A lot of people have mentioned this one before, however this doesn't seem to be a proper copy of the BMW version. Notice there isn't a break line between the top and lower sections of the splitter.

This one seems to have a better design - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2725057820...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I meant pictures if they have seen one.

I was certain I wanted just the black lip, however, looking for that picture I am quite taken with the cf look on EB

How much out of curiosity if you don't mind for painting and I assume fitting?

Seemingly it just sides on, nothing complex, guy quoted £60 with plastic primer, gloss black and lacquered. He did fairing on my bike so trust him with the job>
