Hi Guys

I have a CB M3 and i am in two minds about what to do. I either want to put on the CSL front bumper or the CSL splitters on the stock bumper.

I am also putting on the CSL trunk lid and the CSL diffuser

Which one would you guys put on, Splitters or CSL bumper ?

Thanks

mmmmmmmmmmm bumper?? its becoming pretty common, but still looks better as a whole above the splitters, more sophisticated IMO---still aggressive too

I tend to agree with you.

splitters. bumper is not very nice IMO. one hole and the other closed. just the splitters for sure

What is so special about CSL bumper? Can someone explain the difference between stock and the CSL bumper?

No foglights, or reflectors, just a single air intake opening. Not sure if the splitters are already integrated in the aftermarket ones. Just looks cleaner

I had some splitters ready to fit and bailed out. Opted for a Strass front splitter. The splitters on the stock bumper look like too much like they are stuck on (probably because they usually are!).

If you go CSL bumper, you'll lose your fogs but the splitters are blended in and look like they should be there.

It depends how much you value the fogs. IMO CSL bumper OR different splitter choice. (Ie Vorsteiner, Strass, ACS, Hamann etc)
