Just got the replica today and I'm in the middle of giving it a few coats of Satin black as we speak

It came from Ebay
The guy's user name is Beemer_world

£50 delivered


It's made of fibreglass and the finish is much better than I expected

Apparently the Reiger splitter is supposed to be a perfect fit as well
Will have to investigate that claim.


AFAIK Reiger still make the original and it'll set you back about £120 + postage


Should manage to get you a few pics of it fitted to the car on Sunday

It costs £103 including delivery for the e30 from www.tuning.co.uk iirc. Thats a real one.

I had the e36 one which is the same design and on a lowered car they are prone to not lasting very long. Dont know how the e30 one fit but i had to drill some holes for the e36 and bolt it on, make sure you use big washers because 100mph of downforce on it will pull the bolts straight through. :o:

Looked good in gelcoat when i unwrapped it.

There wasn't any airbubbles in the fibreglass like you get with some companies.

Looked like the person responsible for laying the fribreglass knew what he was doing.

It did need a little rub here and there to get it to fit.

Overall it wasn't too bad
