Highly unlikely. Market is to small for a vert trunk. Way more sideskirts or diffusers would be sold if SLeK made that for the 135i. But if you can convince 10+ Vert owners to put a deposit down then SLeK may be interested in doing it.

I believe the trunk is now up for purchase on Harold's website Luc but if your a bit more patient then a group buy might start.

hyper1 · 01-27-2012, 03:51 PM

I know.
I spoke to him a few days ago.
Then according to his email.They are waiting for Slek to determine the size of the shipping box.

SO........i"m waiting...

thanks for the info.

You know the only difference between the vert and coupe trunk seats are the little points by the quarter windows?

They sweep up slightly on a coupe and are flatish on a vert.

It wouldnt be that hard to make a copy of the coupe mold and just change that one detail.

Problem is that it would still require a new prototype and a new mold. That is about 7-10k in costs.

All that to simply change the shape of the corner? Its all the same otherwise...

Yes. After spending all the time at SLeK's shop I have learned that they don't do things half assed. If they have to make a new part or any slight adjustment it basically means a brand new mold. And if that part has never been test fitted it means a brand new prototype. A mold by itself goes into the 5k range easily.

Harold should already have his hood in the paint shop I believe. Also Powerbeast may have already picked his up as well and he plans to paint it. So painted pictures should be soon!
