Z4M Rear Diffuser Feeler

PLCZ4MC · 02-01-2014, 09:09 AM

fake fins do not look bad at all. But that Aston Martin looks completely evil front the back. Ca not wait to see a render of this.

Price is a little steep for a chunk of plastic, but it's good heavy material.
Here's what it looks like on the car. Pardon my dirt.

I kind of like that. Would be nice to see a real one made out of carbon fiber

If you can copy the Varis one, sign me up

I got one too. Looks great! My offer of 125$ was accepted. A little steep, but had good reviews. Just put it on this morning. Wish it came pre-drilled though. That was a pain.

I just drilled 4 evenly spaced holes about 0.2" diameter and used the black screws with built-in washers that are used for the stock undertray fitments.
I used the clip-nuts as regular nuts on the inside of the bumper cover.
I didn't want to try and thread into the bumper cover. The plastic is really soft.

Nice. I too ended up using the stock screw mounts and some double sided tape towards the edges. Took longer than I thought though figuring out the drill holes.

Bump for renders. Interested in another option.

aznbo187 · 02-24-2014, 10:49 PM

Give me a few more days.

After a few renderings and letting them sit for a few days, I've definitely refined them a good bit down to a few renderings that will transcribe well in carbon and will compliment the multitude of Z4M rear ends, from OE+ to heavily modded.

bjbstewart · 02-25-2014, 10:36 AM

Y'all see them on this car for sale? I think this is perfect...

I'd be in for something like this - but does feel more like a sub- $400 thing...

I like the looks of this one - let's do a group buy on this?

bjbstewart · 02-25-2014, 01:59 PM

Sorry to keep bothering this post - FYI, i spoke to the guys at EuroBotique (www.euroboutique.us), they are here in Fremont, CA. Attached is a picture of the product they sell for $179 (see: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281255661443...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)

Looking at the view from underneath the car, I wonder if that messes with that mini diffuser/duct looking thing in front of the rear bumper...

I looked it up to see what that part is and RealOEM says that it's a "cover, activated charcoal filter"? Makes no sense. Anyone know what it really is? Part #17

StickMon · 02-25-2014, 04:19 PM

Diff cooling duct, I think.
The rubber eBay diffuser isn't big enough to have any impact.
This one, that I think is what's on the car in post #40 may be a more difficult install, but might be sorta functional.
