I love the look of the upper front CF splitters on the M3/M4 and would love to know if it would fit my M240i. I know our cars have a smaller upper section (Whatever you call it) but if it at least would fit the opening then I would be willing to try to fill the cover in with fiberglass to fill in the missing gap hopefully and then can attach it with 3M adhesive. It's a long shot but anyone have any input?


EDIT: I really meant to attach pics, but somehow forgot. Added now.

Do you have a picture of what/where you're referring to?

I really meant to attach pics, but completely forgot. I fixed it.

You honestly could just use the carbon wrap that is really glossy that looks realistic and wrap that part of the bumper would be the easiest method as I doubt there is anything like that for the f22!

Thanks but I would only want a true carbon cover. Plus I really want it to come out more, I feel it's too small.

You will have to custom model A pair yourself, Not so hard to have done by someone its just laying carbon over A mold and epoxying and clear, Maybe start looking for A place that deals with fiberglass or custom bodywork. I would start with the easy part getting a mold made which almost place who does body work can do. Then maybe you'll have to send it out to somewhere you find online that deals with laying carbon Or you can hack up an m2 /m4 one but will never be perfect.

idk maybe you're on to something and start selling these things once you have yours made

never give up

I've really been thinking of mocking one up. I wish I could find a plastic m3/m4 one so I can hack it up and have a good platform to start with. Can only find carbon fiber. I do know a friend who does fiberglass and carbon fiber but both of our schedules are pretty tight. I also can't make a mold from my bumper as it's wrapped in PPF so I'm sure it would probably peel it off if I tried.

I'm going to tackle my quad tip diffuser first before getting started on trying to do this but I really do want to make something happen. Probably wouldn't hurt to give it a shot!

If anyone has any ideas as to where to start I am all ears. Only idea I have at the moment (without too much thinking into it) is modeling clay. Not sure if it would damage the PPF or the CQuartz but it's something I might look into.
