Cheap sideskirts

Howdy folks!

RE E92 pre-lci

Looking to add some m-sport or m3 sideskirts to improve the looks of my SE. getting too jealous when I look at other now!

I'm flipping a coin with the idea of picking up a used set or to buy some replica (imported) ones from a popular auction site.

Has anyone used the replicas and are they any good? I get worried that if I went for used ones then the fittings could be damaged and end up being more hassle.

Any recommendations??

Both of the above links are M3 style side skirts. I have put them on my SE car, but i have a rear performance diffuser and soon a 1M front.

Why not tackle the front or rear first?

Cost!! I'm really not looking to spend a fortune on this car. Ive fitted an M3 lip spoiler to the black and painted the front grill black. I don't really have an issue with the front and rear bumpers of the car. But the sides are just a bit too plain IMO. I may look into an aerolip down the line.

I think with the m3 sides the se bumpers might look out of place(or a bit boring).. might be better saving a little longer and getting a change for the front bumper first.
The se guys all put on the se aero lip and it looks real good, and pretty cheap as far as i'm aware too. Then m3 sides will flow real well with it!

Edit:

First search I did and there's one for only £69 that just needs painted. Worth bearing in mind

+1 for these. I too have them fitted and the quality and fitment were spot on.
