Front Lip Spoiler

Oil Temperature, Oil Pressure & Voltmeter.

Athena my CSi runs cool, water temp rarely goes above much above 4 O'clock.
Oil Temperature is ~180° F & high as 210° F in slow traffic.

I have purchased front spoilers for my BMW 3.0 CSL tribute car several times from THE COUPE GUY in Colorado.
These are exact fiberglass body parts which he has sold for the past 30 years. He has models for 2800 CS street
cars or Group 2 and Group 5 race versions. Very well made and reasonably priced.
 
i've got the senders with the new gauges ...
I've been tempted by these gauges, but not quite sure why :)
I guess oil temp and pressure are good to know as indicators of what's going on in the engine, but do you find that these are either preventing a problem or providing you early diagnosis of an impending issue?
On my MG I did wire in an oxygen sensor to the exhaust downtube at my engine builder's suggestion which helps me assess the air/fuel ratio, but that's for a carbed engine with a supercharger, neither of which apply here to my injected stock engine.

no longer in the business of selling fiberglass parts - he sold his molds to somebody in CA. best place to buy a CSL air dam in the USA is from Mario at VSR1.com
 
I bought an air dam from the Coup Guy many years ago. I found it very rough and it would have taken a great deal of wrestling to get it mounted somewhat correctly. I ended up sourcing one from Markus (outside Toronto) and it fit perfectly. I still have the Coupe Guy air dam if anyone wants it, Just pay shipping or pick it up in Buffalo and make a donation to this website.
 
Woops! Didn’t notice this was someone’s WTB thread.
Apologies for hijack!

Just a thought..
I’d like to cut one up a bit to fit my E3.

So I found some companies that build various CSL body kits (not exhaustive):

1. CCK Historic:

2. Ireland Engineering:

3. Racetep

4. Classique Auto Works:

5. Zaprace:
 
in reality, air also goes under the air dam and hits the bottom of the oil pan. in the CSL air dam, there are holes on either side that do hit either side of the oil pan - if there aren't true brake ducts. on the 6er style air dam, there are slots that hit the oil pan.

I personally like better this E24 (I think) air dam, rather than the standard E9 air dam, which is more like a "wall". At least this one has some vents for better cooling and some sort of lower lip. But this is only my personal taste. Does any body know if installing requires lots of material? specific clamps or clips?
