m3 sideskirts on e92 SE?

As per the title - do m3 sideskirts fit directly onto an e92 SE?

If not are there any decent replicas around?

Thanks

Good question with a fair amount of work genuine M3 side sirts can be made to fit but its a hell of a lot of work, hence the replica wise was the route I took, mine's an SE as you can see below



but with M Sport modded front bumper and M Sport reat bumper.

If you were to say factory skirts were 100% like some others have said I'd say these were around 95% right, if I was uber critical I'd say the rear arch section is around 3mm too short(if that)and the rear corners seem to turn in slightly, there's little though you can do with this bodyshop I always use tried heat/manipulation but it made little difference, this is the only gripe really

Its more noticeable on a lighter car like mine than a darker csr I think as you see more detail, they've made a huge difference to the look as you've noticed.

They are cheap I was quite taken aback re the price, I'd of paid a lot more though to get that 95% score up to 100%

The clips that comes supplied with the side skirts aren't really up to the job long term IMO hence OEM clips like you've said on mine were used throughout.

Fit wise by hand you can manipulate the rear sections of both skirts to get a much more level look this is what I attempted to do with heat but ultimatly the skirts have their pre formed shape and they won't alter but where there's a will there's a wayso on this I'll be having another look
