Where to find these front splitters?

groovetek · 03-12-2020, 01:19 AM

I know most people rock the ones on the bottom half, but I'm really quite keen on the ones pictured on the car itself here...

Any ideas??

LoL clicked in here thinking I would see something rare or a new design...yeah dude this is basically the only splitters anyone ever runs on this car. There are a ton of replicas and even official BMW ones all over the internet.

Haha. I guess nobody looked at the picture carefully enough. The ones pictured on the car are different to the close up of the splitter.

The red line shows the curved nature of the common ones that everyone buys off eBay, IE. replica of BMW one, but if you look closely at the ones pictured on the car they don't curve into the pointy edge...

I don't like the pointy edge ones that are everywhere, makes it look like beetle claws... I guess nobody has seen these other ones...

Nope. Those are the same as all the others. I think the picture is playing tricks on you. They are absolutely the same.

Then I must have them and bought them off eBay about a month ago. The ones I have are those exact shape and look. Readily available on eBay now.

i don't remember who made them, but there was a company that made little dull "nubs" similar to the oem splitters, but a lot less pointy. they were rare because they weren't really popular and its going to be hard to find a set. i haven't seen a set for sale in a really long time.

roastbeef · 03-22-2020, 11:41 PM

Thank you for finding the original source of that image! Shame they don't make them anymore!

ECS Tuning have a similar style at the moment on sale, but they then wrap around the lower sides of the bumper which I don't like haha...

Oh well, guess I'm outta luck!

Can't call them splitters if they ain't splitting air. Those are something else.

Not lips. Maybe like cheeks? Trying to come up with an apt description.
