Hey guys,
I'm starting this thread to document my unboxing and fitment impressions on the 10mm Widened Carbon Fenders and CSL Carbon Bumper . Pricing & Terms TBD.
There are many good news as of now.
Packaging & Shipping
I found a way to package and ship these individually via DHL from Germany. It worked, it was cheap, it wasn't exactly fast at 5-6 weeks but the first fender came in perfect condition with no sign of damage to the packaging.
The other fender and CSL bumper should be here this week as well. I had to pay about 60$ worth of duty fees to Canada.
This will be very useful for the upcoming pre-order and deliveries worldwide at a reasonable cost. Total shipping was 600$ US for the 3x parts. I was initially quoted 1,400$ via commercial air freight + duties & brokerages fees.
The Widened Fenders
Unboxing
We won't know precisely how good these are until this is fitted to the car next week - however I feel comfortable speaking on the craftsmanship and carbon quality.
The fenders were created from a negative mold of the Genuine Fenders and modified for a 10mm larger width. The tabs, brackets and holes are all there and sturdy. None were damaged during shipping.
The carbon process used is pre-preg & autoclave - the highest quality and what I prioritize on all carbon parts I want on my cars.
The carbon work is well done. Usually manufacturers skimp on the backside. They didn't here.
The fenders come primered in a thick gel coat. I unboxed these at the body shop and the crew was impressed at the quality and felt this would be easy to fit and spray rapidly.

The CSL Carbon Bumper
Fingers crossed it arrives in 1 pc : )
