Im thinking about making a mould of these from glassfibre, i could them make a set in about 2 hours rather than a full day. At the moment it would not be practical to make sets from scratch sorry! :( The cost would be to much probably £200 rather than £80 if i make a mould. If i make a mould i could them also do carbon fibre ones that would be cool!!!!

Be worth looking into that as theres a gap in the market....

Im very pleased with them....

i think if these had been the original design i wouldn't have got them.
i think they look ok but you have a lovely zed and have made it look cheap .
Sorry not for me, but worth a punt at that price.
Spend the money and buy the real thing.

Fair doos, you've done a great job with them but personally I'm with Kevan, not sure if its cos they look too thin and insubstantial compared to ACS splitters.

But don't let us put you off :wink: if you like em thats all that matters :lol:

:bawl: :bawl: :bawl:


For what they cost i think they look good but yes i would rather have a set of ACS ones but where do you get them from and how much are they?????

If there £100+ then £50-£80 on a pro paint job on them id pesonally rather spend that amount of money on an M// front bumper....

Sorry Z3cade, but I have to agree with the above two posts.
To me it looks like you have hit the curb or something and lost the bit that should be in the middle.
Other than that, you have a very smart Z3.:thumb:
