Rep ACS Flippers

BEN! · Post by **BEN!** » Mon 30 Jun, 2008 15:45

For those who remember or are on Z3MCoupe.com, i am making sets of rep flippers for the MR and MC.

They will also have three holes on the base of the flippers to attach with screws to the underside of the bumper as per the genuine items, along with a good adhesive.

I will be able to make one set a day, so these will be sent out in order of payment etc.

These can also be painted before shipping, and i can get adhesive for both flippers sent out for a full DIY kit, the painted items will add £45 for each set.

£155 inc del & adhesive (UK) for bank transfer
£160 inc del & adhesive (UK) for paypal/google checkout

Could you please put you name down below for a set.

any questions please feel free to contact me on ben@carevolution.co.uk

Is the price for body colour or plain?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon 30 Jun, 2008 18:23

That's not a bad price. I paid £150 for mine from the US group buy and I got clobbered for import duty also.

What are these made of ?

Can you post pictures so peopel can see the quality ?

Better known as 'front splitters' fixed under the front bumper.
They improve stability at higher speeds, which is deffo a benefit for the Z3!
And they make the front end look considerably more aggressive!

This pic is of my previous 3.0i Z3 where the splitters are longer than the ///M ones would be.

Cheers!

Ben...

Is it possible to just bolt them on without using adhesive?
I'd rather be able to get them off easily if necessary, without damaging the underskirt.

it is, but personally i would put the adhesive on too.

you could get a couple of extra holes drilled into it

ok Ben put me down for a set in silver !! send me details .

Alfie · Post by **Alfie** » Thu 03 Jul, 2008 18:18

Ben....

Got your PM thanks. You're a good salesman, but I haven't confirmed my order just yet!

I'm still waiting to see some pics and details of fixings.
RED is at H&S this week, so I've not been able to check out the underside of the front skirt to see what's needed.

Sorry if I sound fussy, but 200 notes is a lot of wonga for two lumps of fibreglass, so I need to know that everything's right.

Show us some pics of the finished product please.

Cheers

no need for the bumper to come off no, very easy to fit takes 5-10mins per side!

They're Ben's too. Probably a "cost realignment" as that's a more palatable price IMO!
