Sick60, the fitment is fine...like I said in my previous post and PM's sent back and forth, when test fitting it you need to shim it up in more than two places. The weight of the ends of the splitter is causing it to sag. Bring it in to a professional shop and believe me it will fit. Have a shop repair the crack and have it fitted properly and it will be just fine.

it wont go up anymore at the end it was shimmed and the splitter is not flexible so if you try to raise it at the sides by the tire then the front wont fit, believe me i tried everything.

I'm getting instructions as I type this from the seller. He said that if the splitters, is a bit lower on the edges, use 2 bolts on each of the sides then one in the middle, it should even out. This is direct from the shop, they do installation too. Thanks for the effort of trying to install it first. Also the crack, he said that a good body shop can use fiberglass to fill it in, sand it down, then apply new primer, it should look as good as new. Thanks again.

) "Fishy" was a reference in the variation of splitters that were shipped, some had serial markings while others didn't, also in difference of weight among them. I do thank you for doing this for the E60.net members Best regards,
