M3 Rep has arrived!!

DarkEnigma · 11-01-2013, 07:51 AM

Took the plunge and bought one of the M3 reps on Ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/proparts_auto) after recommendation by BoondogUK (thanks for the help and tips!).

Really impressed with the finish on this bumper. The paint job is fantastic, really nice work. Just cannot wait to get it onto the car

(as soon as its stops raining!!).

Side note: those who are worried about it travelling such a distance, don't. They wrap it up in layer upon layer of bubble wrap and cardboard -- took me about half an hour to get into it!! (also had a few little spiders in there haha).

No that's fine -- it was £245 painted + delivered.

Wish they did these for the E92 coupe, absolute bargain.

Ah, thats cause they have no stock... to keep the listing on ebay they bump the price up to 1K so that no-one will bid/finish the listing etc. They will have stock soon. Drop them a message, they are very responsive!

Brilliant thanks! I am going to order one payday and have a go at fitting myself.

How did you choose to have it painted red?

You just have to leave a note attached when you pay. I left the code - if you message them afterwards too they will give you an estimate of how long it will be

nicktyler · 11-01-2013, 10:28 AM

Looks like an absolute bargain!

Did you have to pay extra for the spiders?

creepy coupe · 11-01-2013, 10:36 AM

The M3 doesn't have fog lights though.

That's a bargain considering over here you'd be paying at least that to have a bumper sprayed.

No issues with fitment? Make sure you get some pics up when it's on

My thoughts too. Would be nice if they just did normal bumpers at that price.

Thats what I was thinking Del ??

Josh1a1h · 11-01-2013, 12:35 PM

BARGAIN!

BUT DEFINITELY do a FOG LIGHT Delete!

Looks more agressive and 100X Better!

Jase 320d · 11-01-2013, 04:24 PM

Ooooh i want one of these!

Get it fitted asap!!

AdamC · 11-01-2013, 04:28 PM

Anyone tried the E92 version from them?
Was going to buy this week but then found the pics in the ebay advert are stolen.

BoondogUK · 11-01-2013, 04:50 PM

Nice one... I was chuffed with mine! Looks tasty in red. The fog delete is a lot of mucking about. You have to buy, then destroy the intakes to get them to fit. I need the fogs round here so kept mine

DuckySpud · 11-01-2013, 05:21 PM

That seller now sells a lip for the rep bumper too, think it's under £100 so an absolute bargain! Quite hard to find lips for the m3 rep in the UK

Moxie · 11-01-2013, 05:24 PM

Why not just buy the M3?
