E3/E9 Air Dam Vendor on eBay

[rblongboarder]

I found this on eBay while doing a worldwide search for E3 parts. I'm just curious if one of our forum members in Eastern Europe knows this vendor?

BMW E3/E9 CSL Street Look Front Bumper / Spoiler / Air Dam | eBay

Parts must to be prepared and trial fitted to the car before painting.

always worry about an ebay seller with a 84% positive review.

Hello RBL, I bought and installed one of these air dams from the vendor. The dam itself was well made and fit well despite Myself. The ends are longer for a E3. The center and corners fit well. In order to refit the bumper is where it gets really busy. Either you are getting to cut the bumper or the air dam and it will take a few times to get it right. I cut a scallop into the air dam to fit into and also had to cut a vertical slot
for the bumper frame to fit into. Read notes from vendor on finish painting. Fiberglass requires a whole world different primer for paint to stick to. If you have any questions ask me.

Hello Larry,
Brilliant review! If I may ask, how many hours did you require for the additional fitting?

Regards, Alberto

 

[Larry Louton]

Hello Alberto, I would say (10 - 15) for fitting the air dam and another 10 to 15 hours of work to remove the wrong primer twice then paint, clear coated and reinstall one more time.
Thank you

for the price its not bad , shipping considering it was out of country was quick . as some one else mentioned you have to trim the sides to fit , even then its not perfect but for my purpose Im happy

 

[aguirola]

Why not buy a perfect part right out of the box, and do away with all the time invested to make it right...

Regards, Alberto

The perfect part would install and paint it self with a 20% discount.
Thank you.

Well, you can have one of mine, alas, it will not install and paint it self with a 20% discount, yet it will fit like an 'original part'.

Or double your $ back.

Regards, Alberto

Hey Larry,

Your E3 looks great with that fiberglass air dam. Thanks for the feedback on that outside-the-US eBay vendor.
