    Aftermarket M Tech 1 Front Bumper

    Just curious if anyone has had any experience with this aftermarket bumper:
    BMW-E30-M-FRONT-SPOILER-tech-mtech-1-I-lip-apron-valance-euro-bumper

    Any experience with PlastiFlex body parts?
    Other recommendations for aftermarket m tech 1 bumpers?

    Thanks in advance!

      I've seen a couple around online, but I've been unable to find any reviews.
      I'd also like to hear people's experience with different materials.

      DTM Fiberworkz also carries one, but I'm hesitant to get fiberglass:

        I have one coming today so I don't have it yet but the Plastiflex stuff looks great in the videos of them twisting the parts. The price is right too. The skirts look great. The material is very strong yet flexible. Perfect for spoilers.

          Cool! Yeah, I'd love to hear your thoughts once you get it. Fitment, fog light fitment, etc.

          Do you know how you're going to have it painted?

              Okay, I have the full CEP plastiflex kit in my possession and it looks legit.





              The stuff is light but very strong. The pieces are well made and are pretty straight without a lot of waves or imperfection. These are made to order so results may differ. All the OEM mounting points are there and the parts are well defined. After the pieces are prepped/painted I doubt you could tell the difference between this and OEM. It will be some time before I get this kit painted and installed though.

                  Is the rear spoiler any lighter or ...?

                    The rear spoiler is very lightweight compared to the original. The original is so heavy BMW specs stiffer torsion springs for the trunk lid.

                            I was looking at this too, my front bumper is missing (late model) and my valance isn't in the best shape either. This would be a great alternative if it actually fit well.
