momo Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 M3 one is completely different. Are you after the full width one or the corner splitters? For full-width: There used to be one from a company called "Arqray" but they were always import only and not seen one for years. M-Style do one that fits their M3 style bumper. So you'd have to get their M3 style bumper (for non-M models) then fit the CSL splitter to that. For corner splitters you can get just the stick-on bits: https://www.mstyle.co.uk/e46-csl-style-splitters-carbon-fibre.html mastacrx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastacrx Posted July 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I'd go with the full-width one. I thought about getting just fiber glass black and hydro dripping it in carbon but from what people say it doesn't take stonechips very well.

momo Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 £90!! Bloody hell! lol. Yeah hydro-dipping wont last.. At the least get it wrapped and lacquered but the lacquer can deteriorate if not done correctly mastacrx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely need a clear coat otherwise it'll look like pebbledash in no time, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 CSL diffuser would need a custom exhaust making though wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schumacher Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Yeah, exactly. SSDD sell a different diffuser which uses the stock cutout plus an additional cutout the other side so you'd only need 2 more pipes welded on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastacrx Posted July 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I'll paint it black. Would you paint it same as the cars colour or piano black? Car is a black sapphire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schumacher Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I would have it blended into the bumper then paint it half black sapphire and the lower half wrapped in carbon, so it looks like a small front lip.
