M Performance replica rear diffuser?

roxxor · 02-13-2016, 04:54 PM

Had been on the fence about ordering one for a while, but after finding deep scratch marks on my regular oem one

, that was the motivation I needed to go ahead and pull the trigger. Just ordered one from europarts, we will see how it goes.

That's a bummer to hear about advan. Please post some pics. I'm still hesitant

Would be awesome

I don't know the quality on bavarian or mod bargain ones but I purchased mine last year from ebay, and soon as open the box I knew it was a piece of crap. The fitment and quality was horrible, also made of fiberglass and the holes in the bottom didn't match the bumper. I just returned it in a sec and I went OEM for $450. Night and day difference.
But I guess I don't learn lessons because I just bought the replica front lip from selma. I least I know is made of PP instead of fibreglass.

I got the selma front lip as well and have had no issues with mine, minus the 3m tape on the overlapping top part(not sure what to call it) coming a bit loose. I have some betalink but haven't gotten around to applying it yet.

katchup · 02-15-2016, 04:11 PM

Yea the fiberglass ones are junk, im looking at feedback on PP ones, haha

Paladucky · 02-15-2016, 06:20 PM

I was going to get the Advan one but after reading that it sucks in this thread I might just go OEM...any other replicas with ok fitment?

Seems most of us got good reviews on selma items on ebay. I don't know if they have the diffuser but I just bought the from lip. It should be the same quality product.
Just don't try any one that says FRP ( Fibre Reinforced Plastic) in other words fiberglass material.

Thanks for this info. Good to know!!!

phattbam · 02-17-2016, 10:42 AM

anyone with more pics to add of their rear diffuser fitment?

katchup · 02-17-2016, 10:54 AM

Yea I'm still waiting before I buy one to see a good review lol

dman918 · 02-17-2016, 11:49 AM

I'm debating on a rear spoiler. Then I'm going with a diffuser. It will be a couple months for me, most likely.

katchup · 02-17-2016, 04:20 PM

I just got the spoiler also

Paladucky · 02-19-2016, 02:11 PM

any opinions on the ones from r-w-c-a-r-b-o-n? they're pretty cheap

dman918 · 02-19-2016, 02:26 PM

I've heard good things about rw carbon.

katchup · 02-22-2016, 05:00 PM

Well I finally ordered one. Ordered it from a vendor on here. It is a knock off but they said they fit perfect. So I'll keep everyone updated.

how much is it?

roxxor · 02-23-2016, 11:41 AM

UDPATE: Just wanted to share my pics from my install from europartsautostore. Installation was fairly easy, I removed the reflectors just to help with being able to push the clips in. A couple of the clips were tough to get in without applying pressure from the backside of the bumper.

As for fitment, from what I can tell its about as good as can be expected from a rep. No truly noticeable gap, and even up close it looks fairly flush. Overall, I'm satisfied, definitely like the look it gives the car.

PS: Please excuse my horribly filthy exhaust tips

phattbam · 02-23-2016, 11:44 AM

Roxxor, you mind PMing the link you ordered from please? Also... Looks good

Looks nice. I can't find the dual cut option from them.

phattbam · 03-03-2016, 11:14 AM

Hollandog,

They've got a few left, I'm about to get one.

Dual-cutout
