I'm working on something...

We'll be doing a true 1:1 replica with the ridge, available in unpainted carbon fiber for people to locally color match these. Made from pre-preg carbon and autoclaved, from a OEM CSL diffuser.

Been a few months, any word on the replacement diffusers for those who received transit damaged pieces (such as myself)?

Hey,

Replacement diffusers have started shipping out. There are 2x remaining to be done.

Here's one of them that shipped today to a member here.

However, the left and right side edge is off by about a quarter to half an inch off - noticeable on the "step" or "wave" on the lower part of the bumper. Not sure of this was what was indicated earlier on in the group buy about the design difference/BMW parent. There is a possibility that my bumper is misaligned but the stock M3 diffiuser (made of plastic and thus more pliable) does not have the issue

This sort of alignment and the blend line between bumper and diffuser is a little disappointing for the price point of these. Is this the area that’s being altered to avoid infringing on bmws design? the paint lines also seem to vary quite a bit from the various posts in here

would be great to see some more photos from a 3/4 view at bumper level

As a follow up to this. René has updated the packaging on all current orders and is working to replace or compensate members for any damaged ones.

Some newbies and pictures of the updated packaging. He increased the cardboard density and thickness, added foam and more bubble wrapping.

Finally got more member feedback and installed examples as well here.

Why don't these guys use sturdy boxes when shipping delicate painted parts internationally? There needs to reinforced corners, styrofoam and multiple layers of cushioning on the ends. I get stuff from germany for my work that comes in this flimsy ass chinese cardboard man I don't get it. When I ship stuff out I make sure it's bomb proof.

Then I get other stuff that's us made in stout, square, stiff american made cardboard. Don't the euro guys know delivery guys are playing soccer with our packages? On the birght side that carbon looks great.

Anyway, I shouldn't even be talking because I didn't order a diffuser so my sincerest apologies.

The feedback was well received. René is currently testing multiple different packaging options that are legal for use by standard couriers. All upcoming diffusers to ship will have the updated packaging. There were 4x reported with damages - UPS really messed it out as René has shipped over 100 of these over the year in Europe with no issues.

More UPS carnage... The box didn't look too bad but I think it was crushed end to end based on the damage. Working with Matt and Rene to figure out the best option.

The clear coat is "popping" - which is usually sign of too little intercoat flash drying time. Popping by itself can be solved by wet sanding and polishing - so this can be fixed on your end. I'll chat with René to see how long these cure before being shipped, as it may require finishing adjustments before being sent. The clear coat aspect is something that should be picked up at finishing as these are wet sanded and polished - as it stands, I believe the are popping in transit as they leave the paint shop too soon.

Wetsand it?

I don't understand how something so obvious could leave the paintshop looking like that.
