CSL Front bumper options

[Chas3n]

Other than Status Gruppe garbage, is there any quality fitting CSL bumper options?

Alsatek is readily available. Mile End Composites will take a long time to get a response.

Alsatek is the only 1:1 bumper readily available. It's what I have, fitment is great.

I should have final fitment done later this month.

E-mailed them per their website. Their response was I would need to order the bumper and their splitters SEPARATELY. I'm trying to clarify, but it also would appear you must order their fenders. Comes out to $3200 before shipping. I don't believe that's a reasonable price for unproven fitment.

It isn't unproven. It is unknown for specific reasons.

Alsatek is mostly a contract manufacturer for Motorsport teams and other European brands that private label their parts like AlphaN.

You don't need the fenders to fit the bumper. I have a bunch of their splitters in stock.

Alsatek is not set up to deal directly with customers, this is all a good example why.

Us oem looks good without the fog lights and add splitter imo

Csl stuff isn’t 3x better but is 3x more

Alsatek does look good but for 2k more i went with the oem one. It was definitely a splurge but the replica game is weak right now for csl bumpers with mile end not really producing more. At least i know the oem one will hold its value a bit.

Just part of modding. Quality aftermarket parts are rarely better than the part they replace, but they almost always cost more.

and oem bumper looks good left alone imo

Can you confirm if their bumpers come with the CF splitters, or if they have to be ordered separately

They are a separate product like the OEM bumper, meaning they are not integrated into the bumper like StatusGruppe.

For what it's worth to anyone interested in contacting the Alsatek company, their email sales rep is likely one of the worst sales people I've ever communicated with. As someone in sales/management, it's mind boggling to me how their rep could be that poor at making a sale.

6+ emails back and forth and still no link to purchase nor a solid/exact price quote on shipping to my location. I believe they just lost my business and respect.

The hunt continues.

You have the wrong expectations out of this company: there are no sales people working at Alsatek.

FYI, Sascha owns the company.

There will not be a link to purchase. Alsatek works off wire transfers and regular invoices. They are a B2B company making products to spec for race teams and manufacture for brands.

nor a solid/exact price quote on shipping to my location.

It's +/- 350$ for the fenders and 240$ for the bumper with splitters via DHL sea, which I tested and set up with them as they used to ship via air freight for 1,200 euros +.

I'm here to smoothen this process - what that is worth is a premium some aren't willing to pay for handling that risk, and the hands on knowledge to install it.

That premium is purely perceived as such because Alsatek will still take order directly at their wholesale price - yet you've discovered the existence of this product in part because of what I do.

Fixing this is a whole different challenge in itself where I still have no idea how I don't get perceived like a shill as guys like Tbonem3 like to parrot.

I believe they just lost my business and respect.

Ultimately, it leads to a quality product becoming stained by poor perceptions like this.

There is no better quality replica bumper on the bumper. We deserve better than SGT's product.

I think my favorite part in all of this is that he used you for information so that he could circumvent you for the part.

If only he did, but the hunt (for nothing else) continues.

This forum truly has become for the children that now own the high mileage examples. Completely insufferable posting
