I just offered 120 for it. We'll see where his bottom price is.
I think he got pissed with my £120 offer. He's at £135 and final offer.
Oh, I guess everyone should stick to offering £130 then!

Are you buying it?
I think I'm about to....it's just that the posting is confusing to me.
Why's that?

I was just looking on Instagram and was looking at autobahn_thailand. Check out the AC Schnitzer carbon fiber rear diffuser. Looks pretty nice. I messaged them to see if these are for sale and what the price is.

If it's by AC Schnitzer I would imagine it will be at a premium. Their front splitters are $900 on eBay and that is without being painted. The guy selling on eBay said their shop can paint them for another $200.

If you mean the pics below, it isn't an AC Schnitzer diffuser, it is the one that me and chicagofan have just bought in this thread. Thanks for the heads up on the pics though, looks really good in them!

And the spoiler is this one:

I'm tempted by that spoiler now!

In gloss black though, although I think i'd prefer it in Phytonic Blue.

It does look really nice in these pictures. If this is the same one you guys bought then I might jump on board.

It's definitely the same one, albeit I ordered the gloss black version.

Sounds good. I just made an offer on the eBay listing.

No, just the one on the eBay listing. I guess they are the exact same product.

That spoiler is interesting but I would go gloss black instead of carbon fiber.

The spoiler does look good, I'd dismissed that one before because the Aliexpress photos of it were crap, but these photos are awesome!

I'd told myself the diffuser would be the last mod (apart from the Eibach springs in my garage waiting to be fitted)

Trying to figure out if Is it a lot of different options or just a bunch of photos for a few options. Not being able to read the writing on each photo also doesn't help.


Did you get the gloss black or carbon fiber style? I'm leaning gloss black as opposed to fake carbon option.

Don't bother with the AliExpress links in the OP, these are the eBay links I posted a couple of days ago:

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F192880078929

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F192880142298

I'm going all gloss black, I've had enough of fake carbon bits going milky under the lacquer.

Damnit.

I dunno, the photos aren't as good for that one and are making me second guess it. I wonder how well it would look on Glacier Silver...

I guess because it's an Xline with the silver roof rails. Black rails on ours will match much better.

I think glacier silver would be very similar to these Alpine white photos.

I went gloss black for my glacier silver X3. I was contemplating the carbon fiber because I bought the BMW carbon fiber mirror covers. For the price of this rear diffuser there is no way it is real, high quality carbon fiber so I stuck with the gloss black. I think it will look good with all the iND gloss black pieces I have.

At this price the CF is almost certainly just water transfer, which does look poor close up.

I went gloss black on the diffuser as well. Just not 100% if I should go for the gloss black spoiler or not.
