I did not get it from there but I have it.

Mine's great. It's actually a better fit than the OEM CF one.

It's 4 separate parts - the top and bottom halves of the blade and the 2 side bits that come up over the bumper.

I left the blade matte black and had the 2 "bumper covers" colour-matched.

I bought a rear diffuser from them and fitment was perfect. Different part for a different car, but I was very happy with the quality and speed in shipping.

wow looks nice. i think the one he is selling is just one part though that is all attached. anyways with 48 ppl buying that one with all good reviews, i think it is pretty good.

There is no other oem front lip for f32 yet other than the carbon fiber one right atm?

Could be... It's a bit hard to tell from the eBay pics. I got mine from Mars Performance and it looks to be the same design but couldn't be sure unless I saw one in person.

Yeah, unfortunately BMW don't do OEM ones in anything but CF. Used to be the same for the blades and diffuser. Black plastic for the F30 but CF for the F32. (That's why I had to use the side blades from the F82 on my car.)

I think they now do the diffuser and blades in plastic for the F32 but so far still no front lip.

is the side blade significantly more noticeable with them on? did u use double sided tape and drilling with existing hardware from the rocker panels?
