CSL Diffuser options

[joshuatrueanderson]

is it just me or do all of these replica manufacturers look all the same, with the exception of milesend & OE? I can't differentiate between them, aside from where the paint lines are.

I couldn't agree more. As if they are using the same stock photos used across the internet. Slowly settling in that I am either getting a sub par fitting diffuser, paying a ridiculous amount, or staying stock... 😔 i don't really understand why the aftermarket world for BMW is so ridiculous. If this was a Japanese car, I bet we'd all have a diffuser by now

Ooof...

200 euros to ship? Ooookay

[joshuatrueanderson]

From my email inquiry:

Sales to the US won't include the 19% VAT (So -19% from their 299, approx. 242€) + 199€ Shipping. He said shipping costs right now are crazy.
Converted, it comes out to approx to $284 + $233 = ~$517, + whatever customs may include as local sales tax. Comes out to be on par with other diffusers offered...

Ooof...

Another option from Burkhart, probably what I will try since all the other good brands are out.

I plan to paint steel grey as well. Would love to have one by summer. I'm ready to buy. Eager to find the one

Is plug and play, just like the original and everything is carbon.

Taxes are inclusive, unfortunately I don't know because of customs. Unfortunately, when I buy in America I have to pay customs.

I can ask Johannes how the transport to US is going and whether it makes a good price?

Nice, just what I wanted to hear.

Think you can but id imagine you'd still see the carbon weave through the paint. I just want something simple that fits good.

no, the painting goes very well, I painted it steel gray, it's perfect. I take better photos.

[Andy2424]

Awesome, carbon and everything looks great in their photos. Does it use tabs for mounting or the little metal strips found on the ebay ones?

Looks like they only offer it in full carbon? I'm looking for a half carbon one so I can paint match the upper portion.

can you not paint over carbon?

Shot them an email asking just that + shipping cost

Awesome. Thanks for sourcing that out, rear diffuser is my last piece to the puzzle for all my exterior mods. I wanna get one thats gonna last

2. Says vat 19% included. So hopefully, they can sell it for less than 299 to u.s. customers who don't pay vat.
