Thanks MJ. These are for the M3 skirts they are curved to follow the line of the side skirt so they fit snug. Don't think they would fit as well on the M sport

Great to see they fit up nicely, I was talking to Jason about these a few weeks ago and said you might be keen to help out as a test bed

They look great, I had approached Jason as I wanted something that was just plastic not brittle cf or painted as they get easily damaged.

Spose I should order them and get them fitted up whilst my car is in the panel shop! (least I know what my car will look like with everything fitted haha)

Can you please show where you modded the side skirts?

did it look crap with them being 15mm too long, a bit of overhang wouldnt look too bad?

I want those fenders for my E90...

Group buy SS extensions?

kookie · 02-12-2017, 08:57 PM

Hopefully these wont go all wavey like all the other plastic SS extentions.

Only one I have seen keep its shape is the CF ones.

To match the curve and holes for the jack points, the extensions had to start from the back which put the overhang into the front wheel arch. It was too much to leave so I had to trim off the front. It leave a gap that I'll cap when I have time. Ill show you when I'm I. Sydney. Is an easy job to fit so you won't have to get the body shop to do for you mate

Dumb question but... what material is best for front lips and side extensions? Carbon fiber or Poly?

Hoper · 02-13-2017, 02:54 PM

Nice socks, I really like the front bar lip, but same as others have already mentioned, I already scrape on a few things....Including my own driveway, will be good to see how it holds up over the next few months

Looks mint though

I think your car needs a rolling shot, Socks!!

CF but it's expensive and once damaged can't be repaired

Thanks Hops.... managed to scrape it already driving down a straight flat road, is really too low to be a practical daily tbh, but thats with lowering springs, camber etc...

Yep, I understand, I've got the same springs, and the m sport bumper scrapes on something every day..., at least the plastic lip should hold up, as long as its catching the bottom not the front...does it angle up a bit to help?
