Hi all! I am currently looking for a splitter for my 325i Cab. I know the obvious choice is the 'is' splitter but was wondering what other splitters people are using?

Pictures if you have got them please!

Thanks

Volvo 740 I believe, mounted upside down. I think there's a pic in the Wiki.

Depends on which valance your cab has as well, pre or post facelift.

This is a non bmw splitter, its from a VW Golf MK3 VR6, cost me £16.50 of ebay including delivery, modding it was pretty tricky but this is what it looked like after I resprayed the valance and attached it on, with yellow fogs and black brake ducts.

Its not the best of pictures but yeah lol I have another one floating around, need to find it.

Then there is the Breyton style as well:

Looks nice and meaty, pretty similar to the M tech 2 if you see where I am coming from.

And the Rieger lip, very identical to the iS lip, but again more defined and slightly larger and sticks out a bit more, these are still available for about £120 and are ABS plastic, as is the VR6 lip...not sure about the Breyton ones.

Keep 'em coming guys. I need as many pics of as many kits from as many different angles as possible (so that you can see the lip, skirts and rear valance).

I don't have time to track down posts in other threads, so please link to them here.

I have the pictures for "the making" of it, took me about an hour i'd say, I will post them up tomorrow driving home for the week from uni so I'll do it then. Used a massive cable tie in the middle to have it stay together lol.

Not entirely sure how you'd get a good solid fix on those 2 separate pieces of the VR6 splitter. Looks a little flakey TBH.
