Maxton Design rear diffuser?

CeeTeeX5 · 01-15-2021, 11:29 AM

Anyone running one? Price looks decent and I like that it looks a little more aggressive than the OEM M-Perf rear diffuser.

Also have seen a ton of OEM replica versions on E-bay, has anyone purchased one that has good fitment they can recommend?

Thanks!

Hey, I and a few others have purchased the aftermarket ones from ebay/amazon. I think the fitment varies. I have seen one instance where the fitment was essentially perfect. Fitment on the front diffuser was decent from my standpoint. Could be better, could be worse:

Not sure if this helps, but I purchased the MaxtonDesign side skirts, and they fit perfectly well.

I also purchased the areokit from ebay, and the fitment was close to perfect.

Do you recall which seller you purchased from? Did the rear include the brackets to mount? How's the fitment?

The skirts look nice. Do you recall which seller you purchased from?

That's not the Maxton design you have, it's a clone of the OEM version. (edit, misread your post...)
The Maxton one has 4 "ribs?", vs OEM with 2, if I'm not mistaken.
Personally I like the look of the OEM version better.

Purchased mine from Ikon Motorsports. I imagine they all have the same manufacturer in China. The fitment was pretty good. I installed it myself but I think had I had another set of hands to install it, it would have come out closer to BMWofVS, whos fitment I would say was essentially perfect from the pictures he uploaded. Here is the set I purchased (btw BMWofVS paid about half of what I paid, but his distributer didn't have the set in Gloss Black that he bought when I went to buy mine):

I really wish the Maxton one looked like the one they offer for the E70 and G05s. Love that design but apparently wouldn't work with the F15 M-Sport bumper.

Checked the seller I purchased it from and looks like it’s back in stock.

But as jmack123 mentioned, I believe they purchase it from the same manufacturer.

thanks! I was hoping they had it in CF as well, but for that price I might just buy it and have it wrapped.

Yea I have thought about that as well but decided against it. I may in the future end up going with a set from RW Carbon, although I hear (at least for the M performance diffuser clone) that their fitment is hit or miss.

I recently installed the aero kit in gloss black. Happy with the results, especially considering the cost.

I concur. Black on black on black looks bad ass!

love the black on black look! but after owning a black E36 328i up here in the PNW and trying to keep it clean and looking good, I've decided never again for a daily driver.

If you want to save on shipping and can wait a couple of months maxton usa site has a bulk shipment set to leave from the uk soon with an April arrival. Shipping was 30$ if ordered through U.S site compared to 117$ if ordered directly from the UK, granted if ordered from the UK it would arrive faster but with current shipping delays internationally I don't see it being that much faster than ordering through the U.S also if you mention forums they give you a 10% discount.

Thanks, good to know. Might ponder on it a bit and order from their US site. Trying to decide on whether I want to just go with gloss black replica or a CF rear. My M-Perf front lip is CF so kind of want to keep that trend going but the price on the gloss black replicas are just so cheap in comparison to CF versions.

Do you have an OEM CF front lip or replica?
