    Yup, I was going to post about their CSL bumper and fenders. They make widebody fenders for the TTRS and I’ve heard good things about them. I actually reached out to them on their Instagram about their CSL bumper like 8 weeks ago and they never got back with me. Hopefully Epoustouflant can reach out to them about a groupbuy!

        I'd be interested in these if someone gets a group buy going.

          The backside of that bumper almost looks better than the front! Super nice looking piece.

          Edit: here are the fenders:

              Hmm. Those fenders look functionally to be 100% what I'd want. 10mm is bang on for square without spacers, and they look quite stock.

                  They answered pronto! Let's see. I'd love those fenders as well, running a wider front would be really useful on the E46 it seems.

                    Any chance for an overarching groupbuy that would have multiple products (ie. CSL bumper)?

                    Any idea on the retail price of their bumper?

                      Great point re: square setup. I wonder what their solution is for fender liners. Or if they have a solution. That's key for a street car.

                      If their fender doesn't accommodate/make provisions for making the stock liners work, it would be easy enough to extend the liner 10mm with some creativity, but I'm all about plug and play.

                      I'll look at my car with fresh eyes. This might be a non event.

                      Lastly... I'm getting closer to paint work. Would be nice to have these bad boys from day 1 rather than retrofitting them down the road. Also, I literally just ordered a Euro bumper last week...

                        ^^We used to fabricate fender liners for widebody cars using F150 liners. Cheap, and can easily be trimmed to fit.

                          Awaiting pricelist. I'm sure a multi-item GB would be possible as the tough part to these body panels GB is the logistics.

                              Hey and my comment on timing wasn't directed at you. Pulling together a group buy of this magnitude (you said it, logistics) is a tough one. My thought is that kind of group buy would take time to assemble...

                                I would think so too - the issue with these small European carbon shops is their manufacturing capacity on large body panels. Per experience it's 1x a week as they only have 1 mold, so not too GB friendly.

                                Let's see! No worries, didn't see any shot directed at me ahah : )
