Check this one out! http://www.bocadesign.de/details.php...6&cid=2&sid=23

Or the BMW Performance & JC Sportline. Just be careful with purchasing an Ebay diffuser as some may need a bit of modifications to fit.

If you can afford the BMW CF performance ones, you should get that.
I have the cheap ebay ones $300 85%- 90% fitting right

Ive seen the BMW ones in person fitted to a car and it is beautiful and clean. 100% everything. could not fault it.

go to BMR AUTOWERKS.com and contact Stuart for a price and availability
its not listed on there online store but as the question anyway

That is my opinion anyway. good luck

I've got an ebay which I paid total less than $300 for. From far away it looks pretty good but on closer inspection there are some imperfections such as minor gaps on the sides, doesn't sit flush with the bumper on the top, some folds in the CF weave, some discoloration of the clear coat.

In the end it looks good unless you're looking up close so for what I paid for it I'm pretty happy. However, if I'm ever rolling around in cash I'd definitely love to upgrade to the BMW Performance one. I believe that you can get it for about $1500 from the US + shipping.

I'm under the impression that Stu has an eBay one too but I could be wrong =Þ. I thought I saw it when it was on the hoist one day at Advan.

Really? Haha I must have misheard Peter.

I remember I popped by there and he had a black E82 135i up on the hoist and it looks like it was in for an exhaust install.

Had Yokohama tyres and Gloss Black 182 wheels. I thought he said it was "Stuart's car" but maybe I heard wrong or there's another Stuart

If it was over a month ago that would have been my car. I have an el-cheapo ebay diffuser and it is fine. Not great but good enough for the price.

Yeah it would have been a bit over a month ago. Nice looking car btw =) The 182M Wheels are nice. I saw you went a bit wider with the tyres too. 225 and 255 I believe I saw. How do you find the Yokohama's? I was thinking about replacing the RFTs at some stage and not sure which ones to get yet.

I purchased one on ebay this week from this vendor -: directparts4u

I was impressed by this post below so I pulled the trigger. Listed as US$288 or "make an offer" so I made an offer which he accepted. Still waiting for a tracking number and looking forward to getting it.

I have checked that seller out on eBay. I could only find a quad diffuser. I have been messaging a few sellers on eBay, no replies from all three of them.

Yoko's are quite acceptable. Imo, if you plan to get all of those mods in your sig, then you will need wider wheels than stock. I am getting another set of 8.5+9.5 wheels for track/drag days as the 7.5+8.5 182s arent great for traction.

That's the one that I have. I put my review in that same thread I think. Good luck!

Ah yeah, something I haven't added to "The List" yet are some larger more lightweight 18s. Don't think I'll go 19s I don't really like the look of huge wheels with heaps of air around the rotors. I like the look of the APEX EC-7's so maybe I'll get a set of those. Just worried about rubbing...

The vendor sold out on Monday. I enquired for a second one as I have a friend who also wants one and he said he should have more in a week.

Also - Too much username confusion going on here so I've now changed mine from BM_125 to VGR00
