Replica/ebay cf rear diffuser options?

Need to get rid of that ugly cheap looking grey diffuser however on a 'budget' and cannot afford the >$1k pricetag on an OEM BMW performance diffuser

Question is, does anyone have an idea or had recent experience on where I can purchase/source one from a reputable buyer.

There aren't any options in melbourne that I can locate - mars performance only do a stock looking carbon version. On ebay there are options from China to contend with however a thread search has only had come up with ebayers who are no longer in existence so no one to vouch for in terms of fitment and quality!

So, if anyone is able to help point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated!!!

Alternatively, may look at just plastidipping the oem diffuser black...

I bought one of the ebay ones and the paint on the mesh was chipping off and the fitment wasn't quite right which drove me nuts. Gave it away and painted the stock diffuser gloss black.

Crappy pics of ebay diffuser


vs gloss black stock piece (with a little bit of red dust )

Yeah maybe I'm crazy, everyone else said they barely noticed the gap and it was all I could see.

Plenty of Diffusers in stock (Standard Dual cutouts & Quad cutouts. Took some quick photos of our Quad version:





Difference between ours and most out there:

1) Super Light weight (400grams +)
2) Straight weave
3) Factory looking mesh
4) Perfect fitment (no sanding of tabs needed)

Have seen eurodivisions carbon up close. Probably the best quality I've seen after BMW's own Performance range.
