3A Motor carbon diffuser

Dat Aus · 06-20-2016, 08:07 AM

Has anyone else bought this? It's the eBay carbon fibre rear diffuser (BMW Performance replica).

Having had great success with replica eBay carbon fibre parts in the past, I bought this and for the life of me I cannot make it fit. I researched them before I bought it and most people said they were fairly happy with the fitment of theirs.

I know it was obviously never going to be the same quality as OEM and I didn't expect as much but I literally can't even get this on the car. I can get the tabs to clip in and get one side of it sitting flush, but then the other side seems to be out by at least an inch or so. I'm not sure if it's the tabs that don't line up properly or if it's the holes themselves but the holes for the screws seem to be out of line (to the right) by about 1/2 inch to an inch.

I'm going to take it to a body shop and see what they can do but I'm pretty disappointed with this. I've bought 4 replica carbon fibre parts from eBay before (2 splitters, a diffuser and a spoiler) and they have all been excellent quality and fitment. Anyone else had any luck with it?

Always ask the seller before buying if they have a 100% guaranteed fitment promise.

If it doesn't fit, just file a claim through ebay. Bullshit parts are bullshit sales.

I purchased one from them and it did not fit. When I contacted them about a return the person kept beating around the bush about how they sold a bunch of diffusers and never had a return. I even submitted pictures proving it was too small. After 2 weeks I got eBay involved and 3a motors issued a return label.

I never returned it since it would cost me 300 to ship it back to China. Its just sitting in my garage now lol

It was a good piece too. Did not have any defects.

Does anybody have any feedback on the diffuser sold by ebay user "usa-protec", or the other one they are using with the same stock photos.

I would be willing to bet it is the exact same piece from the same factory as the 3A motor one.
