They are carbon fiber and laid over fiberglass.. cutting would be near impossible.. I also just flipped them and just sold them for a slight loss on the M5 boards...

Yea, its the replica M5 bumper with fogs for the f10, I was hoping that the bottom of the bumper would be the same as the stock m5 bumper with the part that meets the fenders would be slightly more narrow to fit the stock f10 fenders... sadly this is not the case...

I have another idea in mind but in reality I may just give up until a company makes a legit lip for the M5 replica bumpers.

So anyone with a replica M5 front bumper wants to get a lip is out of luck? That just sucks!

Simple5 · 06-25-2015, 06:44 PM

I believe the ONLY things that will fit are the Hamann ($1000+) and the Kelleners ($700+) both mount from the bottom of the bumper and both made from fiberglass... not worth it imho....

lsturbointeg · 06-25-2015, 09:27 PM

Damn! So are u thinking of going OEM or what's the plans?

WHat about the side lip?

Hasser · 06-29-2015, 04:27 AM

I see RW carbon are now stocking CF side skirt extensions for the F10.

$900.

The side lip I did a dry fitting on it and it looks good however the extension hits the jack point (which is supposed to) and sticks out too much for MY liking. I'm going to cut a couple of crescents around the jack points and do a custom install.

I will have pics as soon as I get it all together.

Simple5 · 06-30-2015, 02:28 AM

They are not CF bro they are PU... il post pics as soon as they are installed.

Simple5 · 07-08-2015, 03:43 PM

So I am going to give this a shot. Its a Kerscher style PU splitter. The dimensions will fit the m5 replica bumper so heres hoping. Got it in today but I need help installing. A dry fit looks promising...

I did a dry fit and yes it is wide enough. The thing that will be tricky is the contours underneath the m5 replica bumper. Until I can get some help I cant do much...

I have an f10 and yes, these are designed for E-series models but if this works out it can be an option for those with the m5 replica bumpers...

Simple5 · 07-08-2015, 06:28 PM

So I propped up the splitter with a dryer sheet box and put the ends on a couple of paper towel rolls.. this way I could move the splitter from side to side to line things up. Note the arrows I drew, this is probably where I want it when I go to mount.

Please note that the splitter is about 1-2 inches away from the bottom of the bumper itself... the things I propped it up with wasn't high enough.

Been in the middle of a bathroom remodel so I have very limited time for the car as of right now. I haven't even washed her for the past month...

lsturbointeg · 07-08-2015, 07:02 PM

Looks pretty damn sweet! Wonder if it will work with any f10 bumper msport or non?

I don't see why not...the rep m5 bumper should be the same width as the the stock bumper...

Looks great! Link to the spoiler? I'd be willing to do some cutting to make mine fit.

Got it off of ebay but they sell out quick. Add this to your watch list as they restock often.These are the cheapest ones on ebay and they are PU/Flexible.. don't buy the CF version as it has a fiberglass skeleton and 3x more expensive
