Tat or not?
Came across something a little different while browsing aliexpress.




https://www.aliexpress.com/item/C-Cl...906960439.html

What do people think? Personally I think they look quite good, especially with the more aggressive diffuser.

No seriously its not bad at all. Would have preferred glossy black.

I looked for something similar to this before...kind of like the Brabus front end. Might order a pair and paint gloss black to see how they look. Aggressive looking for sure.

Will fit both. Let us know how you get on Clement, a lot of this Chinese stuff needs a brave tester like yourself to go first

Look forward to the feedback. You still running the stock splitter or something more aggressive?

Ya just the oem splitter. For a small piece though, makes a big difference to the look of the front of the car.

It sure does, will be interesting to see what it looks like with the stock splitter. The 'intakes' do look a little bland stock.

Looks good

Bit of a random one, but are you missing the air deflector from behind the front grille?

Could just be the lighting, but you might be.

Along the bottom edge of the front grille can you see straight through to the radiator?

I'm pretty sure it's the lighting but I will check further when I get a chance.

Found the Brabus ones that are similar...obviously slightly different front end.

One of the pics also has a splitter in it?

That link is only for grill covers correct?

There's always random sales or fluctuations in pricing on there. Usually you can get an even better deal if you message the seller directly.
