very good design it follows the lines of the facelift, only thing is that stupid number plate ruins the lines.

yup...btw, I find the use of the word "Jap" quite offensive and so does most Japanese folks, so I wouldn't use it so casually, especially in front of Japanese people. just a friendly warning;) don't reply with "its not offensive" because it is.

Yep, I'm going to enquire about costings for it. 3D specialise in BMW so hopefully fit would be good.

Sorry if I've caused any offense, obviously didn't mean to. Just used it light heartedly, personally I wouldn't mind anyone here saying chink because I know that people on here wouldn't mean it in a malicious way.

I think if its smoothed in and the airducts are less square it will look very nice and unique (on UK roads).

Agreed, or maybe even without the fog covers in the pic.

It looks quite like the arqray (?sp) lip, combined with elements of hamann foglight ducts. It doesn't look quite right as mentioned above...
An arqray lip with individual hamann foglight ducts would look so much better...

I think it would look better if it was smoothed into the rest of the bumper

Im not trying to start an arguement here so please dont think I am.
Do you ever refer to British people as "brits"? Its the same thing in my opinion.
Im intrigued as to why when refering to a company "jap" is offensive? Its the same when people refer to "jap" cars. I could see the point if you found it offensive if he was refering to a person maybe but not objects as such.

Alot of money for that splitter. Just get a CSL front bumper.

I was going to reply and say that myself, so +1. That would have also been my exact argument. Same for scots, same for poles, same for swedes. Are these terms offensive? No? Exactly. Whats different?

I can't tell you how many Fast Car/ Max Power/ Redline and other modifying mags I've read which use the term 'Jap'.
Oh shit... Sorry.... Magazines!

So I can call a corner shop a Paki shop and no one's gonna be upset?

In the words of Duncan Bannatyne-
"Let me just tell you where I'm at with this...
I'm out!"
So I can call a corner shop a Paki shop and no one's gonna be upset?
Yeh but the word "paki" is usually used in a negative manner i.e a racist term if it wasnt associated with this then it would'nt be a problem.
Jap is used very commonly i.e jap cars, jap magazines and is not used in a negative manner, just the way brit is not used negatively.
Just my 2p worth.
As for the bumper, IMO Arqray lip still looks the best, but Micheal as your car is pre facelift i think the CSL rep will suit it a treat.

If your from Wales your called Welsh, if your from England your English, America your American, Australian your an Auzzie, Japan your Japanese, Sweeden your a Swede, Denmark your Danish, Ireland your Irish, Scotland your Scottish, Germany your a German, France your French, Spain your Spanish, Italy your Italian (anyone see a pattern here ?)
So without starting a Riot, if your from Pakistan what are you called ? I`m not advocating the use of a word if its offensive but genuinely what is accepted ? I can understand the offence if your not from Pakistan and they were sworn enemies of the person or something but being the typical, non-educated, socially retarded "Taffy" I don`t get it. :(
Either way guys, if Stock323iSaloon finds it offensive then I'm sure he has reason to be, we'll just stop using the term.
Regarding the CSL bumper, I'd love one but my current bumper is welded on so I can't take it off easily.

Wel its simple if your from Pakistan your called Pakistani.......
TBH one of my best mates and alot of you know him, is Pakistani. He calls Pakistan 'Pakiland' and his family 'paki'. I certainly don't think anyone finds it offensive any more..
This isn't going to end up being like 'nigger' is it??? "THATS OUR WORD. YOU CAN'T USE THAT WORD!!"
THE DIFFERENCE IS. If I say "A good mate of mine is paki" - Its not offensive surely?
If I say "Fucking pakis get out of london" its totally different though. IT depends on the context. Anything is offensive if you use it negatively, but we can't suddenly go all nanny state "ohh no you can't say that". This country is getting more and more like that and it pisses me off.
Racism is obviously unacceptable, but using a slang term for a race.. Come on?
People need to grow up and get out of this nanny state mentality.
Apologies if I caused offense to anyone with my opinion...
oh ps lol still don't like the bumper :p

Agreed that 3D deisgn one is expensive (probably due to the shit exchange rate). on a different note, check out the front splitters from ACS. Too angular and does not go with the rest of the car IMO
