Removing M Performance front splitter

Has anyone removed the factory M Performance front splitter?
Lip part broke off, wondering how hard it is to remove the rest.

Should just be a few bolts and some 3M tape, so not difficult at all with a bit of patience.

If it was fitted with beta link though, may god be with you.

That looks fantastic! what wrap did you use? It seems to match the Glacier Silver Metallic almost exactly!

It's got a cool look without the middle piece. Curios - how did it break on you? Asking because I had my mid-section snap out as well.

I used:
3M 1080 G120 GLOSS WHITE ALUMINUM (purchased on amazon)
And it matches very very close. I used it to wrap the orange reflector, as well as new m2 style bumper inserts that i just installed.

The middle piece was missing when i purchased the car, i think the previous owner said snow was damaging it and he pulled it off. (Colorado)
