Custom Aero Lip Splitter
Anyone know where to get one of these splitters, or knows of someone who can make custom splitters please?
Note, it's the exact one in this pic which I'm interested in. I've seen plenty which have 'cut' edges and ones that doesn't follow a curvature all the way around- not interested. Any pointers would be great, thank you! Sam P.S. The 2nd pic advertising 'Concept Performance' are US based. I've contacted them over a week back and have had no response and nor does it allow the purchase of this on their website.. |

I've seen them I think on SSDD Teddys site also I think MStyle might do them in Carbon for around £360 I think it looks from memory fairly similar

Are you talking about this? If so, it's not what I'm after. You'll notice the pics form my 1st post are round curved on the outside. Everything else I've seen from Teddy and M Style are this shaped...

I've made my own recently, took a few attempts to get one right and I know its not the style you want, but I would suggest it to anyone to have a go. At the moment Im still rocking this one which is plywood, I want to remake it in ABS plastic but can't find a reasonably priced supplier

I would ideally want something around 9mm too but can only find ABS up to 6mm thick. Found somewhere that does an alright price but it's only 5mm thick and buying 3 sheets...

I would do it if it was for an E90. Unfortunately I don't have access to an E92 and I assume the curvature of the bumper and possibly mounting points are different

Even so, at the moment I've only made it from plywood and I suspect you would want something better haha. I might look into buying 5 sheets of ABS or something and see if I can make it worth it without having to charge a fortune for them. |

I can ask for costs of flatstock carbon but 9mm is very close to max thickness for solid carbon. Potentially could get core put in but that could be pricey!

I only said 9mm as that's the thickness I'm using in ply. First one was 6mm and way too flexible, plus I personally think it looks better a bit thicker.
If using carbon I imagine it could be a lot thinner due to how stiff it is. |
