Thinking of getting a cheap plastic one, that i'll then have painted gloss black.

Dang...do you think wrapping it with some 3m clear vinyl or some other clear bra material would prolong it's life? I'm considering doing this to my recently painted M Sport as well...

Here is my ebay special. Got it for like a buck fiddy. Now I see it for around 100 bucks. Oh well I like mine. It's subtle.

Absolutely love that style...personally I think it's the best looking F3x lip style. Understated and aggressive at the same time.

Nice job!

That looks like one from Magic Drift on eBay. Just bought one on sale for less than a hundred bucks to replace one that's 18 months old and beat up.

We have lots of bad driveways in my area. I can't see spending big bucks on a beautiful carbon fiber chin spoiler that's going to be trashed within a week.

PROTIP: The unpainted urethane looks okay at first, but quickly fades and looks bad. I painted mine gloss black. You can touch up dings with JB Weld epoxy putty.

I have a MagicDrift on my 2018 F32 440i M-Sport. It fits just fine. I don't think there was any change to the M-Sport bodywork with the LCI.

I really like how everyone has modified their look just enough to stand out from the rest.

Im looking to add a front diffuser with a lip and skirt covers. I found this picture that makes me just a little wet.

Does anyone know where i can get the parts like this?



Thanks

Thanks

first and foremost welcome to the forum - that said what you are seeing I believe is an MSPORT F30 with an oem front MSport front diffuser and lip - MSport oem side rocker panels with MSport decals and side blade extensions / this particular car has had a couple of those parts painted red (stating the obvious) - everything you see can be readily purchased aftermarket - but the red paint will be up to you - hope this helps

ps - only thing I can't explain (maybe euro) is the lack of orange side markers on the front bumper

After doing a little more research it seems your right about the paint. I think the splitters (the items below the fog lights) are purchased separately from the lip and the lip is painted the red.

Recommendations on getting decent quality Carbon Fiber parts i can get powder coated other than just crossing your fingers on ebay?

So on the oem (factory) piece the splitters and lip are all one piece - in the aftermarket world sometimes the pieces are seperated.

You'll need to elaborate a bit when you say "decent quality Carbon Fiber parts i can get powder coated" typically you wouldn't paint over carbon fiber (although some people do) and powder coating is a process for metal not the plastic pieces you have been asking about - they would be painted

That said if you are still after the "look" of what you shared in the picture - I would check out EBay seller: https://www.ebay.com/str/europartsautostore

I have had good luck with them in the past - you can buy the parts from them and have them painted locally whatever color you want.

Good luck - hope this helps

Thanks for the added feedback!
I have found many frown on painting carbon fiber all together. I am aware powder coating is intended for metal, but it seems it could be done on carbon fiber from what i have researched. I simply want something of high enough quality to match the hardness and durability of OEM paint.

Thanks for your suggestion ill check it out!

Probably euro. US cars don't have an M badge on the front fender.

Reminds me of people who leave the yellow shipping protectors on Dodge cars. They're going for hundreds of dollars on eBay... when they were designed to be removed and thrown away when the car was delivered.

Kind of like leaving the price tag and stickers on baseball caps.

I'm waiting for the @jhpdynamics one personally





It hasn't even been created yet, the mold is done and the first batch should be ready in a few weeks!

You and me both! Can't wait to see the CF sample its looking great so far. Already on the waitlist as well

[hybris]

Can confirm that the car with the red striped front bumper and sideskirts has OEM M-performance parts that are partially painted red. And yes, it's a euro spec car, hence the missing side markers.

mkane5994 Why do you want carbon if you are going to paint it anyway?

[JHP Dynamics]

Check it out.

Looks terrible, just like the Morph Auto Design lip
