My Ride: 2006 530i.... Saphire Black Metallic...19 inch Axis Milanos....Auburn dakota interior.....ACS rear lip spoiler... And a whole lot of head turns ;)
Hey guys i got my replica spoiler today... The ones from ebay for 100 bucks.
Some comments on it for the rest of you who are lookin to get one.
These things are IDENTICAL and when i mean IDENTICAL it even has the AC Schnitzer logo imprinted into the back of the spoiler along with and ACS Serial number. It also has an indentation on the right hand side for the ACS Mini badge (which i also purchased) Im not sure if the Original ACS Lip Spoilers have any other distinguishing marks on them but this thing is a replica down to the serial number.
I paid for the painting service to be done on it as well (80 bucks) I would recommend the painting service. the paint is identical to my car (should be since i gave them the color code). Only grief is. Ive spotted 4 tiny pin holes in the paint on the under side of the lip. By no means detrimental. But if you are a picky bastard like i am about my e60 it raises your attention. But i can live with it. they are very miniscule.
Overall very good buy. Id reccomend sylvia autosports to anyone who wants an replica roof or trunk lip spoiler. Ive actually spoken to francisco (the dude that handles their ebay sales) and they will be doing replica acs kits as well very shortly.
I will be takin the spoiler to have it put on tomorrow. For those who have had the spoiler installed already. Did you guys drill into the car or did u use adhesive? Im not sure if 3m double sided tape would work for this spoiler.
PS: these spoilers are being shipped direct from Hong Kong.

Glad to here your happy with the purchase. Ebay can have its downsides, however others here have stated that those are made from the same molds. So as far as the detail it should be a solid match. Post some pics please others here would love to see the comparison.. thanks

It came painted. you can pay an extra 80 to have it painted by them. Its Identical to the cars color. Some of you may not want them to paint as they dont accomodate for the fading if your cars a little bit older. I only had the car for 2 months so the color is pretty fresh still.
Yeah I was surprised that they actually came with the ACS logo imprinted etc. I bought the mini badge from ebay for 13 bucks shipped (what a rip off) but i saved alot on the actual lip so it was some what justified.

Im not talking about the actual sticker on the right bottom of the spoiler. (theirs an indentation on the spoiler for that as well. you can buy the ACS logo badge for 9 dollars on ebay.
www.sylviamotorsports.com i believe. or just go on ebay and search e60 spoiler. they do ship to UK. same price as shippin to canada. it would be 160 shipped to you i believe. Thats unpainted but primed.
