The main problem is that the Hartge will ultimately get ripped off. For those that remember my 2007, I had the Hamann on that and it eventually cracked. I also think the Hartge is somewhat played out and the Vorsteiner changes it up a bit. It also works well for me, as I have a lot of Carbon Fiber accents all over my car.

Anyway, you decide. Here are the pix:

First the badge and now the splitter. Extreme makeover?

By the way, I voted for the Vorsteiner

That's tough. I love both. But would have to go with Hartge because it will match your Hartge rear diffuser.

It looks like you've already made up your mind.... Vorsteiner it is!!! haha

Seriously though, you can never go wrong with those Vorsteiner splitters, if Umnitza makes replica ones for their M5 bumper I would definitely rock those over Hartge.

Son of a.. just in logistics you should get the vorsteiner. We live in the same area and I'm yet to scrape a driveway or curb etc. and you know the eventual fate of the ahrtge
