I'm certainly interested, but before I would commit 100%, i'd like a little more info. Is it going to be an exact replica of the acs item? (from both a style and functional standpoin), made of CF? About how many people do they need, for a given price?
I'm almost 100% in...

HI TO ALL !

these will be exact replica yes , but obviously without any brand name .

Please check out our carbon pages on our website www.ca-at.co.uk , particularly the E36 sections which show many of our pre preg hand made carbon products .

We are looking for minimum 5 orders of each .

let me know if any more questions

regards

roy

Roy, can you offer what kind of price we'd get if we have 5? How about if we have 10? I'd love to get this... do you plan on making any front end components, like the acs splitters, to ballance things out!

hi again

thanks for the response .

To update you , I have spoken now at length with my carbon guy and to my regret I was off on the pricing a bit , but if we get enough orders we can do each E39 rear diffuser at $ 1450 dollars a piece , plus shipping .

These will all be made in the USA so your shipping costs will be reasonable .
For UK and European customers this will equate to around £1050 uk pounds INCLUDING shipping , VAT and import duties ( we have to do all this by the book guys or I am tax man fodder !) . In euros aprox 1450 eu .

regarding other parts , say front end splitters etc , agaiun if we get enough interest we will do this as well , just let me know .

Once we get the minimum 5 orders for e39 we will request 50% deposits up front , the balance on day of shipping .

Regarding the E60 versions , we will have to take a close look at the new item before quoting .

Now , we need the original part to mold from , does anyone have one of these we can borrow ? Otehrwise we need to add on to the cost of each order to cover the cost of buying a new one . If someone can lend us one , it will be returned in pristine condition, but we will reimburse any damage .

let me know guys .....

Long time reader, first time poster. :byebye: Hello everyone.

There is no way I'm going to miss getting a part that not only is CF but is cheaper then ACS. Count me in...

However, as a group buy, I was hoping the price would be better. Currently it's only priced a hundred less then an ACS peice from Beastpower. I understand that the peice is in CF, but was hoping you might be able to negotiate better prices from your CF guy.

Come on!, come on! come on!
We have FIVE so far, but let's shoot for 10? 20?
Roy said he will give us a better price if we get more to belly up to the bar with a credit card.
Where can you buy a high quality two piece rear diffuser kit in CARBON FIBER for $1450.00?
It will look so good UNPAINTED on the rear of my Sterling Grey Beast!

Maybe a link on the main board? Is that allowed? To get a little more visibility!

Hey Mike:
I just did that.
Boy, do we think alike.
I hope Gustav thinks it is proper.

I'd definitely be interested, especially if we could get more people in on this and the price down some.
