Not great new for these folk, but I’ve added a zero to the price of mine now.

Aero side skirts?
what if we tell them we have 100 order?
I am sure these would sell if we were to advertise on here and zpost.
Just a thought...
If not, are you guys interested in having the side skirts replicated by www0KBDbodykits.com?
They made their kits from polyurethane, which can be folded during shipping, so I am assuming the shipping won't be that much, even to Europe.

Another avenue could be find someone selling the same colour car with Aeros as yours on fleabay/PH/autotrader who’s not on this forum & offer them £500 to swap...
Regrettably Shaun’s never going to sell his MC so am left with 3 hopes there, ‘Bob’, ‘Stamford-lee’ & ‘No’

Shame about BMW not wanting to play ball.
However we definitely have other avenues and I'm certainly very keen to get some on my roadster. As mentioned in a previous post, I have a source who are able to make these in FRP, FRP with wet carbon or full dry carbon.
Just need someone with aero skirts to go an have moulds made of the OEM parts.

Good idea Jembo, I never thought of that!

This certainly sounds interesting and would be superb news if someone could reproduce the aero skirts.Babw wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 2:05 pm Shame about BMW not wanting to play ball.

In the long term this wouldn’t only benefit the folk who want to add them to their Zed. It would also benefit those who need to replace a damaged one in the future.

Aero side skirts?
I’m still following this post and actually reading it has given me a bit of a panic about whether my dealer can fulfill the promise of a set
Based on exchange rate, I paid £480 for a new set in primer
Usually, Asian warehoused parts take 2-3 weeks to arrive in Bangkok and parts from European locations take 4-6 weeks
Fingers crossed
I know a guy here who does carbon fibre work and If my order comes through I would probably consider making a copy immediately just in case the oem ones got damaged....
Failing that, I know where I can get some Hammann skirts, but they aren’t quite a style upgrade as the aero skirts

Bad news....
And yeah, it seems this post has turned more into a discussion than a sales post
BMW Thailand haven’t located any since they took my order 3 weeks ago.
I’m not willing to give up yet and I’ll definitely continue following this post in case there are further developments

I thought the same the other day. Also bmw parts uk in my town had them on their website. So emailed them to check before I paid and was told they can’t get any. Obviously lol. Always looking. Heard that bmw Switzerland aren’t on the main network and emailed them awaiting reply. Will keep u posted via pm mate.
