Carbon rear spoiler

Chris ABP · 09-12-2012, 05:49 AM

Really quite keen on a carbon Fibre rear spoiler for the 1M but can't help thinking the BMW Performance item is overpriced.... Coupled with the fact that if I don't like it in the flesh its a £300 gamble (or a £120 gamble)

Can get a genuine BMW Performance item from local dealer for £305 inc vat
OR
Has anyone purchased from either of these EBAY traders?

Their feedback scores are good and purchasers comments on the carbon fibre quality are positive but just nervous about buying from them. Less than 1/2 price can be quite tempting....

Any thoughts fellow 1M owners?

Cheers, Chris

I purchased a 200 dollar one from one of the vendors on here. Usually a good experience, but the craftsmanship on that thing was terrible. I had to send it back. I actually ordered the BMW spoiler because for a trunk spoiler, it'll be obvious if there are any fitment/physical problems with it. I have a deposit on the Scopione diffuser since that's at least at shin level. Issues (if any) won't be as noticeable. But, best of luck! Plus, you bought a 1M... don't put shoddy materials on that car. Step up!
