Would there be much interest if I could get some made up? Obviously it will depend on cost, but I just want to test the water first!

Thanks for the thought.

I'd be interested. I bid on the recent one on ebay which went for 140 quid, so it would be interesting to hear your price.

No, the rear screen isn't the same, where the spoiler sits it wraps over the top and around the rear door, if you had the spoiler there in front of you, you would see why it wouldn't fit.

Simon,

I think you have really started something here?!
(Reiger - eat your heart out).

If your enquiries could include similar lower aprons/ bibs, valances - call them what you will - i.e.: similar to Alpina type, then whoop de do, even more interested parties.
The chap on ebay whom sells carbon fibre front spoilers for the E21 for circa Ԛ£250 - he'll make E30 versions if the interest was there - but maybe the Cf loof is a little too DTM for most?

Keep us all posted & thanks for the initiative. pm9575

Well spoke to the guy today who I had in mind, and he tells me it's going to be much to expensive to make, and he would have made it from fibreglass anyway! :cry:

He also said that if was able to find someone who could make them from the original injection moulded plastic, it would cost a lot more and would require a good few orders to make it financially viable. :cry:

so it's a non-starter?

Of course the obvious and fair way of resolving this, would be for each person who showed interest to have Simon's spoiler for a few months!
