M3 side skirt reps

Ordered my vossens now and think the next mod should be m3 skirts for my e92 335d LCI M. Saw tons of posts over in the states but just wondering how everyone goes about it here, any good suppliers with bang on fitment? Or is it a grey area.....

Believe it or not a friend of mine picked up a set from bmw for around £150 so try them first before getting some crappy reps. Iv had rep parts in the past and trust me if you can get the genuine part then just do it because you will never be happy with them.

Thanks V, would they fit lci?

Essex, I'd get the genuine m3 ones but I heard they have to be modified to fit non-M3?

Yes, you're correct. You shouldn't buy the OEM m3 ones!
Also I just installed mine, supposedly from the best online rep store there in the US, JGmods, and they are far from perfect, even though they were highly recommended. It's quite disappointing.

I bought mine from ppcgb but they are the same as mstyle sells they are about a perfect fit as youd expect and I am exceptional ocd only thing id say is don't use the clips that come with the kit where it attaches to the rear of the door they are not very good. the oem ones can be reused.

Any issues regarding fitment? I heard they were a tad longer?

I got mine from M Style PPCGB when I enquired were out of stock with no due date M Style had mine delivered within 5 days, my understanding was both company's get there's from the same supplyer.

The come as stated with their own clips I chose to use Gen BMW clips, fir and finish well its not 100% factory.



above is the biggest issue I have with them being alighter coloured car you can with the eye pick up on the fact that the slight swage line that runs down the wheel arch and carries on to the side skirt has its flow interupted due tothe fact that the non genuine M3 skirts appear in everycase I've seen to be slightly shorter than they really need to be, I've seen several cars with them fitted every one seems about the same we're talking mm's here we really are but this aside mine line up perfectly and sit nicely on the fronts the key is having a decent body shop to do the job and spend a little time on making sure everything is lied up and ture measure twice cut once is the answer with most if not all aftermarket items. But I'm happy with mine

Each batch must be different because the lines on mine are spot on, I did have an issue on both sides with them sitting in too far so the door would close maybe 2-3mm before the skirt, all I needed to do was epoxy a couple of rubber grommets to the back of the skirts and refit. As mentioned though the supplied clips are flimsy. I got mine from PPCGB next day delivery.

Re rears if we are talking lights I bought a set of Jamel(Jammy78) last May there still in the box and as you've of gathered I still haven't fitted
them yet same goes for my headliner too.

But Yep cars coming along slowly, suspension and wheel swap are on the radar for the very near future
