Hi,

Are these genuine OEM, and do they come with all the fixings etc?

Cheers, Melv

No they are not gen. a very good friend of mine has a carbon business and made 1 for me so i suggested him making more. He normally does bike bits and planes but he can make anything for anything. (he's one of those gifted engineers).
He wants some numbers before he makes anymore as they are quite time consuming to make.
He uses the very best quality carbon and the finish is excellent.

Im interested, also if he is that talented maybe he would consider front splitters, front wings, Bonnets, and the CSL style bootlid, the only thing which prevented me with a purchase is the stupendous postage costs from the USA to UK, nearly as much as the damned parts in many cases !!

The big stuff - bootlid, wings and bonnet require an enormous amount of time to create and finish in a presentable way. A friend of mine (also an engineer) and myself have made things from carbon fiber and the more complex and larger a shape, the more difficult and time consuming. I will say you don't have to be an engineer or chemist to make the stuff if you learn the right way, its not that difficult for simple jobs.

Another method is to cover things in carbon fiber. This is far less time consuming and still looks legit - well it is legitamate cf, it just has the original part underneath. And lets face it, most parts people just want the look since it's already lightweight plastic anyway. It may also be known as carbon fabric, much like whats on the Z4 M dash.

In the case of the CSL style rear boot lid its actually the shape I want, as well as the obvious weight savings from all the Carbon parts combined.

Guess I need to keep saving up for those honeys

I'm interested in the chin spoiler like what's available of the 545i and matching kidney grills.
