Best source for carbon fibre splitters

[E46ACS]

My carbon fibre splitters are a bit tatty. A couple of curb marks, some lifted laquer and a load of stone chips.

My man at the stealers tells me they are £170 each!

Anyone know of any other sources other than main stealers?

Not desperate, just would be nice if they where tidy.

childs play really
take em off give them a good rubbing down with 400 and lots of water

clean them with panel wipe or brake cleaner

can of clear laquer give them 5 coats go for coverage not finish allow an hour between coats and make sure you only dust coat the first couple

stick them back on leave a couple of day,s then compound them g4 is the best dont worry about the odd dimple as you cant see nthat once you stand up they then look fine for about £10 :thumbs:

If you want new a friend was at Thorneys this week and he said they can source them cheaper than BMW.

Thanx mate

What laquer did you use mate and what is G4? Might have to pop to Halfords this afternoon!

[dave1]

just a can of clear laquer. g4 is a compound polish made by fareclay in a yellow tube you might get it in halfords if not you need a mill auto or a paint supplier :thumbs:
