    Yay or Nay?

    Have decided to get me replica painted ... and added a lip ...

    Should I or shouldn't I? :hahaha:

    Am trying to imagine it on the car but my first thought was Nay. It may look better imo once on the car though.

      I cannot see the lip to be honest.

        Was intending on using this for trackdays ... just in case I damaged the real thing ...

        The lip is a single piece splitter from Vorsteiner rather than the individual left and right splitter ala OEM.

        Be a bit sacrilegious putting replica CSL bumper on a real CSL though :bigcry:

          That's not a bad idea.

              That looks like a very good replica bumper, who manufacturers it?

              For trackdays I think that would be great, I quite like the splitter too, something different :thumbs:

                  Its from Vorsteiner my front bumper is one of theirs, they are a pita to install but look good once on (mine is with normal splitters).

                  Here are some pics of the "race splitter" on a cab.





                  Another on a coupe:

                      Ding ding ding .. correct, it's a Vorsteiner replica.

                      I am surprised that you say it is a PITA to install .. I actually find it 'easier' to install and align compared to the OEM bumper - you just have to use the right method to do it.

                      One thing though, it does add quite a bit more weight to the front end of the car :bigcry::banghead:

                        Never installed an OEM one, but to get the Vorsteiner sitting perfectly it takes a long time, I had to dremel the slider mounting holes, etc.
