First Forged Carbon Fiber cosmetic pieces?!

nioh_lbbm2 · 01-21-2019, 07:37 PM

Has anyone else seen this? This is the first instance I've heard of forged carbon offerings for BMWs. I think Lamborghini started this trend. I'm hesitant to get it since it won't match my rear lip spoiler but it looks pretty sweet

Found from a seller called "arkkperformance" on instagram

Looks like marble countertop. Much prefer the look of regular CF.

Not an entirely bad thing, mind you. It's growing on me.

BMW's F80 M3 CS trunk spoilers are partly made of forged carbon as well.

Marble is for the kitchen, not your car.

Any installed pics? I've been curious to see how it looks on our cars. I probably wouldn't get it since it doesn't match the other CF bits

My bad my app was glitching so the picture didn't get thru, I was talking about the mirror cap btw

HScomp_M2 · 01-29-2019, 08:37 AM

I would like to see what it looks like installed but I kinda dig it

"Forged": Are we talking fake?

I cant speak for this particular product in my OP but forged composite is an entirely different form of carbon fiber: https://www.lamborghini.com/en-en/br...ged-composites

Possibly? Would have to look more into it. But that's a JC Sportline rear diffuser. Not made by that insta seller

Wrong context. Not talking about forged as in fake or counterfeit. "Forged carbon" is a material

Lol you don't understand his question. He's asking if it's actually "forged" carbon or a knockoff. You have no way of knowing. It's not made by the instagram poster you linked in your OP. It's made my a Chinese brand called JC Sportline and you can buy the product from Aliexpress for cheap.

forged forged carbon fiber.

So funny that people thought this meant fake parts.

SM2 · 02-17-2019, 02:15 PM

I can't figure out if I like the forged carbon. 🤔 I'm a bigger fan of the honey comb style carbon fiber.

McPurrs · 02-20-2019, 02:24 PM

Contacted them on IG. Seems sketchy to me. 499eu for the diffuser. 129 for the mirrors. Lost me when I asked about shipping to the US and said it was included. Also lost me when I asked for any pics of those parts on an M2 and they did not have any. Must fit really great when they never tried I guess.

They're not the manufacturer so I'm not surprised they don't have pictures. Probably just reseller or dropshipper only

I'm not affiliated with that IG account. No I do not know. I just happened to stumble upon that post and thought it was interesting and shared it
