There's one on ebay at the moment. I bought one the other day for $249+$60 shipping (US Dollars). They appear to have gone up by $50. I contacted the seller and it looks like it comes from the same place that makes the one for jcsportline.

That looks good mate- a good price too, even at $50 more. I may have to take the plunge to balance everything off, especially as I'm getting my carbon spoiler installed tomorrow as well as CF mirror cap wrap

Then I'm gonna have to follow up with a Kersher front lip....! Oh this addiction isn't good!

Thanks for the heads up with this one

ippykaye · 10-22-2011, 06:14 PM

That's no good Ian

I can't help with mesh repairers though- perhaps a smash repairer?

Do you think it's due to flexing when fitting the diffuser or the permanently flexed position when it's fitted?

AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!

Zuzu · 10-24-2011, 10:09 PM

Man your having some shit luck...

Is that damaged from the shipping?

Trexx · 10-24-2011, 10:10 PM

Damn what a hassle

Harlequin · 10-24-2011, 10:10 PM

No damage to the box but I guess it could have been done with pressure rather than impact...

cooler2442 · 10-24-2011, 10:11 PM

Uh oh, time to email Mike for a replacement.

Harlequin · 10-24-2011, 10:12 PM

JUST opened the box. Been waiting over a month... STILL haven't got my Kerscher Lip and now this.

FML.

That sucks Harley.
I ordered mine on Saturday. It got sent out from Scopione today.
I emailed Mike yesterday for him to inspect it before shipping and he said he did (thanks Ian).

What did it cost you? Maybe I should be pushing JC Sportline for a refund?

I would. I've delt with many Chinese companies in the past and find some of them extremely difficult to deal with. I almost bought the JC Sportline diffuser also. I know it cost's a little less.
The Diffuser from scopione cost me $399 plus $178 shipping. Total of $577.xx

Hi Friend,

I just checked the pics,the package are very good before it shiped, it is during shipping damaged, unlucky our agent in SA do not allow us to make this diffuser again.

We have seen this pics we can refund you 100usd for reparing this diffuser or you can return it back to us,we can make the full amount to you.

thanks,

Bastards... I think I'll take the $100 and try to get it repaired...

PS: It wasn't damaged during shipping - there's no damage to the box...

Most likely someone purchased the exclusive rights to the mold so they can't have any more made.

Same reason no one has made iCarbon knock offs yet because even though their stuff is made in Taiwan, they have exclusive mold rights.

Probably Scopione. Everyone reckons they're the same and you did point the eBay seller out to them. They've probably bought the rights so they don't have to drop their prices...

Could be a possibility, never know.

That guy still has some so he could have purchased the rights?

hope you get it sorted out dude.

p.s. what are you doing with your shadowline diffuser?

Harlequin · 10-24-2011, 11:30 PM

Thanks.

If I can get this one to the point where I'm happy to put it on the car then the Shadowline one will be up for grabs...

Deralique · 10-24-2011, 11:37 PM

That's shit mate

- I'm also looking to get the Scopione as well . . . just thinking on whether to get the splitters on special too . . .

shotgun!

although I'm not convinced the gloss black suits the SGM.. on white it looks badass

Harlequin · 10-25-2011, 02:15 AM

Looks OK... could be a better paint job...

ippykaye · 10-25-2011, 07:37 AM

That's a shame Angus. It really is a gamble purchasing parts like this where refunds/returns are nigh on impossible. I hope you get it sorted one way or another

The variable quality with all these plus fitment issues even with the Scorpione one makes me think twice....
