Need help from people with carbon side skirts/rear bumper extension problem!

After waiting two month for my carbon fibre extensions to be made by Boca they turned up today. The quality is unreal but the sides seem way too long. Are the coupe sides longer than the saloon?

Also i think they made have sent coupe or pre facelift rear bumper side extensions as they dont seem to fit either.

The PFL Rear extensions are longer than the FL bumper. Your right they sent you the wrong set.

The Coupe and sedan rocker panels are the same.

Yep I messaged owner of boca back at same time as this thread, he said side skirts are for new c63 w205 and rear extensions are prefacelift so they are making me the whole lot again. Gutted as the car was booked in to get the full lot fitted with the front splitter, boot spoiler and diffuser.

Guys anymore help these, they sent me some new ones but still dont seem like they fit but are different than the others.

If you try them up on the car they only seem to fit on one side, if you line up close to wheel it doesnt fit close near diffuser and if you fit it close to diffuser they dont see to fit near wheel. Its like they are not curved enough to go round the bumper!

Take the tape off. Fasten with adhesive/silicone.

I am sure the tape is not the issue they dont look as curved and the flat part that sticks to the car looks too long, I think they sent me another set of different ones. Look at the shape of the revozport ones below.

The tape adds 1-3mm of height to the flick. A flexible adhesive like silicone will get it closer to the shape of the bumper, then fill in any remaining gap. At the end of the day they are cheap mass-produced items out of China with close to zero quality control. For this piece, none of them are perfect. I complained about the last set I tried, and the guy told me to just keep them and refunded me. They cost about 6 cents to make. Your expectations for perfection need to be adjusted and/or you need to take a Dremel and sandpaper to it if you want to get the shape right. You’ll go through a dozen of these before you find the best one, it’s just luck.
