New Carbon Splitters

[tbellamy85]

Have a brand new set of Carbon Splitters for the bumper, from CA Automotive and RRP is £165.

Not been fitted just require the holes drilling for the plugs to fit through, very good quality, not your typical ebay crap.

Wanting £90 for them inc P&P.

Pics up tomo due to camera being at work

I will take them, depending on pics.

I am afraid those won't fit the factory CSL bumpers. They are for the plastic China made replica CSL bumpers:

So are you stating that CA Automotive are falsly advertising? they clearly state on their website "these will only fit the OEM CSL Bumpers".

Also they are a very reputable company in the UK for Interior/Exterior items.

I am happy to accept returns if you are not happy with the flippers

Please provide proof to your comments please

I have not had dealings with CA so I really can't comment on how good they are - I am sure they know their stuff well. I am merely basing my comments on photos of the product you've posted up.

Best way is to perhaps try them on a factory bumper and see if they fit??

These might be a completely different design to the ones I posted up which clearly don't fit (and I know quite a few people who have mistakenly purchased thinking it will)

I do make one point though:

Faithful replica of the oem parts

Which these obviously aren't:

1. The return radius on the inside of the splitter is different to the OEM version.

2. The height of the splitter looked taller in the photos.

3. The weave angle is different

4. A step in the top of the splitter where it slots into the bumper differ to the OEM version.

Hardly a faithful replica in my opinion.


p.s. I am not here to argue or to call anyone a liar - just wanting you to make sure that these do in fact fit the factory bumper like CA claims.

FYI - even the Vorsteiner splitters don't fit the OEM CSL bumpers and these are suppose to be a pretty faithful replica of the genuine item (I know, because I have one those bumpers sitting in my 'spares' room)

When I bought my spare CSL bumper (real one) the guy gave me two new CA sitters.

I fitted them about two months ago and even though off the car they looked A1 and. Couldn't tell the difference very easily next to OEM, when fitted they did not sit corrrectly and now fall off every now and then as yo will be shepherded the done force exerted on them when travellinng.

I would say try them on your car before selling them to see they fit before selling them on (to us:whistle
