Find a guy on eBay called "raven_racing" or "racing_raven"...have a look at his product...I've just fitted a set..

They're very well made and easy to fit...

I don't mind bastardising them.

There were copies (Chris has a set on his coupe). I think they were made in the USA plastic but so far as I know there were issues with distortion and they are NLA.

From memory there is a current thread on the american forums about replicas but as I have a genuine set I've never bothered reading it

You could also search for the famous shed fire and have some fun at how upset our american cousins were at getting ripped off by someone on this site

There was a guy who used to make fibreglass ones in his shed, at least I think he did flippers, may have just been spoilers. My memory really is failing or more likely its swamped with 993 information lol.

I had a set of those US plastic replica ones on mine for a while. They came from Motion Motorsport and I had no issues with distortion.

Just to clarify, The forum user known as Ben was also a member of several Forums, he didn't just use this Forum as a base for his actions, Gazza.

Unfortunately it looks like motion Motorsport don't have any anymore.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to make my own, or butcher a pair of similar and then reshape them. Anybody seen anything resembling the flippers on other cars? M3? Other cars??

Z3cade · Post by **Z3cade** » Tue 16 Apr, 2013 22:33

I think your only option is to buys pair of originals

Strikem · Post by **Strikem** » Tue 16 Apr, 2013 22:44

Where from? BMW? That ebay link??

Problem is I can't justify the cost. What do you recon circa £250??? There is soooo much else I could do with that money.

Plus the chances of ripping them off on something, or having them stolen. Hahaha (paranoia)

I'd go to around £80, but even then.........for 2 pieces of plastic!!! Geeee!! I'm a industrial/product designer by trade, and have worked as a civil engineer for 7 years. I must be able to make these out of something and save some money!!!

swamper · Post by **swamper** » Wed 17 Apr, 2013 10:55

although your right you could make some you would need an original pair to copy in the first place.
iv seen the universal ones and homemade ones and .......well

TitanTim · Post by **TitanTim** » Wed 17 Apr, 2013 12:21

I would go for the carbon fibre ones I posted above, you only live once
