1:1 CSL "GT style" Carbon Diffuser

by CarboProject GmbH

build journal: Special series

"Gone in 60 days" from idea to product in hand.

Most CSL diffusers available on the market are created from a negative mold of an OEM CSL diffuser with slight design variations.

This is good, but not perfect.

This 1:1 CSL carbon diffuser is created from a positive mold. It is an actual 1:1 replica of the Genuine BMW CSL diffuser milled from secretive data.

The GT style diffuser is a derivated of the 1:1 replica. The fins design are revised to a more aggressive look.

In this Special Series on my Build Journal, I take you into the details of what makes this special along with the backstory to this crowdfunding, development, unboxing, fitment reviews.

I sign off with my recommandations on if you should get the paint match service.

Cheers,
Matt / @m3_epoustouflant
