I really want one for my touring but it pains me paying £100+ for one

I suppose so fuzzy, i'm scottish born though, we're tight arses haha.
I really wouldn't mind the tech2 door pods and the upper bumper sections... I think it'd go really well mixed and matched with the breyton kit

Standard spoiler is black rubber. The ones in question here are a fair bit larger, and are plastic, finished in body colour.

I take it BMW have stopped producing these then? Does anyone know if there are aftermarket replica`s of these? If not, how hard would it be to find one, make a mould and re-produce under a different name/brand? Just asking as whenever I find one its snapped up before I can blink or it`s priced outta my range

The one I sold was already painted so could not really tell what it was made of but it was extremely heavy so think it may have been solid rubber.Simon wrote:I'm not so sure the M-tech spoiler is plastic, they are made of a very rubbery material, very flexible. They are a pain to handle once painted, very easy to crack the paint.
Think you must loose 10 bhp when fitting one of these it was that heavy lol

The one I have is firmly attached to the back of my Tech 2 Laguna green touring, and has been there since the car left the factory.
All I know for sure about what it's made of, is that it's much less flexible than a standard touring 'spoiler', and that it is painted Laguna green with no defects in the paint finish. If it's rubber, it's a much harder rubber than the smaller one.

Anyone have a pic of the fixings or know how these fix to the car. I've got one but i don't think its fitted right.
Haven't managed to remove it yet as i'm scared of breaking it.

Spoiler should be fitted with Sikaflex 255 - a polyurethane adhesive in three 15cm lengths, and at a temperature of 20 degrees minimum.

If it's still held with original clips and you try to remove it I can almost gaurantee they will break.CaesarBob wrote:Anyone have a pic of the fixings or know how these fix to the car. I've got one but i don't think its fitted right.

It's definitely not original as the old bus didn't come with m-tech tupperware from new.
Given how some other bits of the kit were fitted i would guess it's probably tiger seal'd on there.
