Duell AG splitter

Best looking functional splitter that fits into the oem JCW Pro aero kit front .
If I can buy it I will.
So hard to do business with this company.

I agree with RDSJCW - that splitter looks great. If anyone has bought this, please let us know how the install went. I'm very interested in getting one of these too.

How long did it take for you to get your splitter? I ordered one through their USA vendor last September and it still hasn't arrived.

I don't believe they come that way from any vendor. You can wrap them or paint them.

Way TOO much money for this. Until I see it under $400 USD, not even looking at it.

Isn't the AC Schnitzer front splitter $400 though?

Yes, but that's just a flat piece of FRP. I'm not saying that the price of the Duell AG splitter is justified, but it is considerably better designed to match the JCW front bumper. The unfortunate thing is that the F56 market for aftermarket aero is very small, so options are limited and prices will be high.

I saw this one at a semi-local speed shop when I picked up my car. First one I've seen with a lifetime warranty.

Yep. Definitely not for everyone. I'm planning to have one installed on my car, but It's gonna have either two or four turnbuckle stanchions for extra bracing, just because I like the way that looks. He's tested the splitter up to 140 MPH without stanchions. They're going to use my car for wind tunnel tests as soon as they finish fabricating the rear wing prototype. That's what's great about the MINI. You can build it the way you want to. And as y'all know, opinions are like...... well, you know. Everybody's got one, but the only one that counts when it comes to my car is mine.

Have to admit, I do like the Duell parts, but accessibility and price cancel them out for me. It was a big enough PITA just to get my ACS splitter, although that hurdle is gone since ECS carries it now.

How is the install on this Duell splitter? Also, does it match the side pieces well?

Is there additional hardware, or does it just snap it like the JCW Pro splitters?

Thanks

found another pic of Duell AG splitter

Here's another one. Really like this a lot. Wish I could get some info on what the install is like. It looks like it really fits well.

I'm also curious. Mine should be arriving in the next few weeks. I'll let you know how the install goes. Hopefully not too painful.

It depends where you are located. I first emailed Duell AG asking where to order from, then they gave me the US vendor. Its different for each country. Vendor pricing will vary as with any aftermarket part, but you can expect to pay close to $1k or possibly more depending on shipping charges.
