I have a F30 and I'm looking to buy an M Sport front bumper for it. I've yet to have any lukc finding one though, and I don't know what the average price is for one in Canada. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Bought my front msport bumper directly at bavarian motorsport. Did a road trip to get it, paid 80$ custom fees

Rear msport bought on ebay 37$ (bestracingmotors) import fee

Both, with combined fee and price, costed me 600$can

What he said ^^^

There are a number of places in Markham that you can buy the same bumper from as well. Prices vary but you can get it slightly cheaper than Extreme Parts.

Nextmod is very popular for body kits and performance parts. They're around HWY 7 and Woodbine.

I know of Nextmod from my Acura owning days. I thought they only did JDM stuff, because even their website right this moment doesn't list any European cars when I look at bodykit. Good to know for future reference though, is that where you bought yours?

Yeah I picked up my parts between them and Gino. Gino is good because he stocks a lot of his parts whereas the other guys often have to order.

They should really list these things on their website. If it's not mentioned on the site I don't even bother to call and ask. Any idea if NextMod has CF diffusers?

They are a performance shop like any other and order from the same venders as the other guys as well.

I know they definitely have the OEM spec stuff in plastic, you'd have to call them and check. I suspect they can get the parts but to be honest eBay imo is the best place for carbon goodies. It's all about Ikonmotorsport man.

Well I've seen cheaper from vendors in Asia. Not sure how the quality is versus ikonmotorsports, but they charge more for shipping too.

I need a diffuser. Do you by any chance know what brand Gino carries or the fitment? Is nextmod better for diffusers?

Call them all and do some research. The parts generally all call from Taiwan.

To be honest I've answered that question a ton of times in other threads.

It's most likely Taiwan one. The bumpers he sold me were Good Go.

Hi Guys, I appreciate the feedback! I just wanted confirm if you had a bit more info regarding fitment and if there were gaps as you actually bought a diffuser. All i see from searches or get from calls is it fits good(90-95% and I wonder what's the 5%-10%, a gap?) or its perfect fit(from the companies I contact, which is not really helpful at all).

I only have the diffuser that came with the bumper and that fits perfectly since it was made by the same people who made the bumper.

It's honestly hit and miss with what you buy. The parts you get are aftermarket so the venders have to have a contingency for gaps and misalignment.

You can get a bumper that you mount that wont necessarily line up with the hood to give you a consistent gap or you can get one that fits identical to OEM.

They don't want you as a buyer expecting 100% 1:1 fitment. The other factor they as venders can't control is the history behind your car and if previous works effected how their parts will fit.

Thanks Kev!

So it's a +1 for Gino, I just bought and installed the diffuser(Good Go/Taiwan). It's 90-95% like everyone stated lol(I understand now!), meaning there's a 1/4 gap on each side. However, it's even on both sides so I don't mind. Took me two hours trying to force the dam clips in, it was just not happening... So I filed down 2 tabs a little by little and it popped right in.

I did take a few pictures but noticed it was too dark...

Edit: Gino = Extremeparts.ca

Good stuff and congrats on the purchase. No one will ever notice the gaps...I see them on the OEM cars as well.

Yeah I picked up a diffuser from Gino. Started from the right side and made my way to the left and the tabs on the left were a pain in the @ss to line up as well.

Looking forward to seeing some photos!

I wish he had carbon fiber diffusers though. I don't understand why he doesn't. He had spoilers and lips but no diffuser in cf.

It's because the CF diffusers aren't as popular as the plastic ones. They are also expensive for what they are.

If he sold it he would also have to carry the CF side extentions.
