It was £80 delivered, the length and curve were perfect, but it doesn't quite lay totaly flat at the edges. I've applied a little sealant along the front to close the gap. Can't really see it without getting really close.
I think if i'd got a plastic one, it would flex more so no gapping problems. The carbon one's really rigid! |
Thanks - was that from a BMW dealer?

This is where i got it.BMW E46 4D M3 type Real Carbon Fiber Trunk Boot spoiler on eBay, also Body Modifications, Exterior Styling, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 24-Jan-09 10:03:18 GMT)
Ordered it on the 30th dec, came yesterday(5th jan). Which i thought was really quick as it came from Taiwan. The quality is perfect, not cheap at all.I'll try and get some better pics up. I've only just discovered this thread, some wicked ideas! Frayz your stuff is excellent! Mit |
Thanks Mit.

Not really a one off mod as im sure others have done the same, just never seen it.
I wrapped my downpipe, then used aluminium tape to seal it, to stop water ingress and also to prevent it getting tatty over time. http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...thy457/014.jpg |

It's been in for a couple weeks now, no problems. I've used this stuff for exhaust gaskets ect for years. It's stated as flame retardant, and good for high temp applications.
Also, it's wraped underneath with heat wrap, so it's not subject to the downpipes full temp when hot. |
The high temp silver tape is fine its used in heavy industry for lagging / Trace heating puposes on pipes , used it on my car for the last 6 years .

Loving the mods
The carbon lip i dont like it personally but its a great looking mod if that makes sense |

Bit of a stretch to adjust though?
|
cheers.
not too bad to adjust, i mean,its not like you need to adjust it 10 times in a journey so no issues really, think ive adjusted the speed/temp twice in the last 2 weeks |
