Anyone recognize this front spoiler?

Its different from the Alpina version, which has air vents at the corners. It has some similarities to the one on Shanon's 2800CS with the notch in the center, but is still not quite the same. Its subtle but effective, and I really like it.

Hi Yannick - thank you for the information on the spoiler. I am sure it is a very rare part. Do you know if anyone makes a reproduction?

I am planning to be at the Oldtimers GP this year, and if so, will drive the CSL over from London again. I look forward to seeing you there!

Yes, it's Alpina, but mine does not have that cut-out for the jack in the front.

Cheers,

Scott

Just looking at the Motor article where they drove a csl to ten european cities in 4 days and the RHD yellow csl has a spoiler very similar to this in it. They mention it is a spoiler being tried out.

The car was on loan from BMW GB. They reckon they got a maximum 146mph - and that the speedo was slow at high speeds versus milestones.

I will have to try and scan it in and upload it.

I'm with Tyler. This spoiler and perhaps the version without the jack cutout looks good. Any sources for such parts?

Zaprace in England has a selection of chin spoilers

http://www.zaprace.com/csltext.htm

BTW: The deep chin spoiler I have is aluminum and was a period custom pc made by a person who built/developed/raced Alpina racers in England in the 70s. His name escapes me at the moment...Zaprace told me it is extremely rare, hence it does go on the car very often, roads where i live like to smack it up.... :roll:

The guy who owns/runs ZAP is called Chris Randall - a very nice bloke. He races a csl in the recenty started masters series here and also has owned genuine csl racecars.

I have bought cs GRP stuff of him and its a good product.

I've got one with the "vents" and could be persuaded to make a mold

In the past I think someone up in Colorado was trying to gather interest for a front spoiler. I would be interested if the price was right. Perhaps a group of us could collectly go in on a batch.
