He is a guy who sells parts to my buddy's 335i and I knew him during a meet.
He told me he got those vents and I said give it a try. This guy is in HK.

I paid USD130 for a pair. It is in carbon fibre, but I like it painted.

This part was not meant for W203, but it fitted 95% well. We had it glued on, did some body work, some simple cut and paste to make it fit perfect.

erm, what good will these vents do? won't less air get through the front wheel arch to cool the brakes? I can understand their purpose in Porsche cars as they have radiators in the corners of the front bumpers.. but don't get why they'd be used here

in order for it to get less air to get to the front wheel arch to cool the brakes we need to actually have air ducts that gets the air to the front wheel arch to cool the brakes.

Hmm, I look at the picture one time and like it. I look again and then don't care for it as much as it looks squished into the fog lights. Look again and I don't hate it. I dunno....
