Don't you hate it when a part becomes NLA and prices for the few remaining items become insanely expensive? Well I do, but I really wanted these splitters for my restoration so I found one that was advertised as "NOS and BRAND NEW". The cost was $300 plus and then there was the shipping from Australia of another $75. Unfortunately, while never used, they were bent, warped, deteriorated, and cracked. So disappointed and completely unusable.

I still wanted these, so I bit the bullet and and commissioned the tooling to make brand new ones. But not just copies, but better than the originals. While looking identical to the period correct Posany splitters in size and shape, I tested a numerous number of modern UV resistant rubbers, finishes, and densities. In addition, I went through all the 3M adhesives available to ensure the best long term bonding solution. And after months of trial and error, endless testing under all conditions, I believe I have put together the perfect combination. UV and solvent resistant, can withstand the full range of temperatures that any car surface will undergo, and unmatched long term holding power, but easily removed without damage to properly painted cars or the splitters using WD40 and a bit of care.

The Splitters are about 38" long, identical to the Posany design, packaged well, in a two compartment coagulated box, Poly wrapped, and with a 12pt card sleeve. The finish is a beautiful satin matt black that reacts well to most any silicon or rubber preservatives. Overall, I am extremely happy on how they turned out and they will look at home on the finest Concours cars to the fastest Race Cars. And for those who asks what do they do? The technical answer is that it creates a high pressure area as the air is directed over the car at speed thus creating downforce. But I just like the way they look lol.

I am offering these at $150 per set which I believe to be fair and more importantly, get these Long NLA splitters into the hands of fellow community members who always wanted them or have even thought of wanting them. I made enough just to cover costs, so once they are gone, I doubt I will run a second batch but rather be on to my next project. And for the month of June, if you PP me as "friends and family", I will ship FREE of charge to the 48 contiguous States via USPS Priority Mail. International orders are welcomed, but will be charged for either UPS or FedEx at the best rate I could find unless otherwise directed and agreed to by the buyer.

I am also so confident in the fit, function, look, and feel of these splitters that anyone who does not like them for any reason I will happily refund your money, no questions asked, if returned in unused new condition. But I think you will be like me and fall in love with them as the quality and feel truly shows through. Thank you, Allan

With Allan’s ok, I’m offering wind split parts number decals that Mo made for me 18 months ago. They are for both sides and look very cool, like the originals had on them.
For those who have splits and are interested, pm me for details.

Thanks
Keshav
 
I have attached some pics of Keshav's decals that look wonderful. But just to be clear, while similar, my replication is from the period popular Posany design and not the OEM BMW part that requires holes to be drilled into the hood. The decals would add a nice touch to any Wind Split IMHO.

Those are my decals & drawings certainly...As I recall there is a UV exterior coating on them -- certainly look nice.

I ordered the splits. Not sure if decals are needed or would detract or let others know they are "original". I am not 100% sure if I will install them or not but will lay them on the car to see. I hope I can remove them easily without damaging paint if I decide to take them off at a later date. I think they will look bad ass on a black car. Thanks for doing this Alan.

I would leave the decals off. Your car is not a CSL and the white would detract from the overall black appearance

Thanks and I posted instructions on FB to apply and remove. https://www.facebook.com/groups/bmw...528087417267396&notif_t=group_comment_mention . Just use liberal amounts of WD40 and you should be fine. But I do believe you will love the Wind Splits. Thanks again Allan
