not the cheapest things in the world, but a nice subtle addition. bit of a nerve racking moment sticking them on, but i'm well happy with the look

Looks good seems to really stand out in the sunlight.Thinking of getting a carbon front lip for mines to replace the Scott Lowe piece of junk - am going over to US/Canada in June and you can pick them up brand new for £160 and then post it home as a gift to my brother to avoid the tax/vat.

cheers guys what do they say, imitation is the best form of flattery?
sounds like a good price for the splitter bmac! always fancied a carbon fibre one myself, happy with the colour coded one i've got but you can't beat a bit of carbon
what's bad about your one mate? bit of a bad copy?

Its splitting right along where the filler bit that goes under the bumper and the bottom lip meet - if that makes sense.Was going to get it filled and resprayed but my cousin who is a sprayer says the material is too thin and it will just go somewhere else.Its a Scott Lowe and was not cheap.

like you say, they're not cheap from there!mine is a bit thin in places aswell to be honest, but it was quite cheap so to be expected. can your cousin back up with some more fibre glass on the back to get you out of trouble?
fancy doing a group buy on the carbon ones?

STI S204 has a Carbon Fiber Lip Spoiler. Part number: ST960204S170
The c/f b-pillars look ok, you got a pic of the whole car with them on?

i believe they will fit all the way back to 01 new shape as the b pillars should be the same.either way, you'll have no probs fitting them to your 03

I would say they are slightly bigger than the ones pictured above and cover more of the standard plastic trim on the B pillar.
tomorrow then!!

Yeah you get instructions but it's really just a case of using some panel wipe on the B Pillars to get em nice and clean. Then just stick them on with the aid of a hairdryer to get the M3 backing nice and tacky so it takes a really good hold.
You cant fluber this up, if you do don't ever touch a spanner.

does look a slightly different weave and do look a bit bigger, but i'm sure they look fine on your car. looks like the 3M backing isn't the foam type on those ones? probably makes no difference at all though.
good find that
