Thinking about eventually getting the Hartge front splitter since the Umnitza one makes the car entirely too low to the ground with my H&R sport springs. Do you think the M5 replica front I got from Trinity is close enough to the OEM that I could fit this Hartge splitter on it nicely? Anyone ever done this? The splitter costs $1000 and I don't think anyone makes a replica of it!

Nope. I tried to fit the Vorsteiner Splitters on it and it was a different size.
Even though it looks like the M5 front, its slightly different in dimensions.
And Replica is available (For M5 only), but from Thailand and I believe they charge like $500-$600 for the rep, which is ridiculous, but what can you do. I was researching this when I had the M5 front last year. It was a failed search. Your only option to get is the Umnitza Hamann rep front splitter. If I had the M front, I would go with that. It makes the car super aggressive looking and completes the front.

I have the replica Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber Splitter for the M5, if anyone is interested. I decided not to install any front splitter on my car after cracking my authentic Hartge and the slope of my driveway. Let me know if you're interested and I can post some pix. Would sell for $200 shipped. Member JOHN has these exact replica splitters on his M5.
