Hey guys,
I was recently shopping for rear spoilers and was doing a fair amount of research on brands and user experiences. There were some mentions of ebay/AliExpress but never a lot of follow up after someone pulled the trigger. I wanted to share my experience with an AliExpress spoiler I ordered: I ordered a carbon fiber spoiler from a Chinese seller on AliExpress. The spoiler was about $100 with $50 for shipping. The spoiler actually arrived within a week of ordering it. I thought it might take up to a month being it was coming from China but I was wrong. The quality of the spoiler is actually very very good. I could not make out any imperfections in the carbon fiber. The fitment was also perfect. Both corners sit perfectly flush on the trunk and there are no gaps. I even used the supplied 3M they installed on the underside of the spoiler. All in all I had a great experience. See the pictures below. [IMG][/IMG]

Nice. I also got one a couple of weeks ago, but hasn't arrived yet. I hope I'll have a similar experience as yours.
I don't think the 3M is original though so I was thinking of using something else to install it. I guess it's too soon for you to say if there are any problems with the original adhesive yet.

Nice! Glad to see others have tried these out successfully. I almost bought that spoiler from EBay but ended up getting a different one instead - link below. I ordered it Thursday and it arrived at my shop in SLC on Saturday. Will have it mounted next week (getting a bunch of suspension work done at the same time) so will confirm on fitment and quality once done!

Hi guys, i was wondering if anyone knows the best supplier for ebay/aliexpress for bmw parts and accessories? Also on another note, i bought a spoiler for a car a while back that was exactly the same color as the car, i now have a 2 series in sunset orange and i want a spoiler that matches it perfectly for the sunset orange color. I am also looking for a front lip/spoiler for the front in the same color. Also, does anyone know the absolute cheapest place to get the gloss black grill? Thanks
