Photo Request - Lip Spoilers

Still deciding whether I want one or not....

Does anyone have any before and after shots?

Also does anyone have a shot of the carbon one?

Nice, a side by side comparison of EBII with chrome and gloss black grilles! I've been wanting this comparison for a while!

Definitely prefer black grill.

I'm indifferent about the lip though, and for the cost and then worry of hitting it, i wouldn't have it!

I always notice people eyeing out the front splitter, I think it's very eye catching..

It's definitely eye catching.

But i think the car is so good looking and fresh at the moment it doesn't need any extra. In a few years time when they are not as new then definitely the lip will make it stand out again.

Totally agree with you there and normally I am totally against modifications.. The only modification I have ever made to a car, was BBS LM's On a 330Ci Convertible, very long time ago and Oh, a GruppeM Air Intake, Which I ordered form Japan for the very same car.. An amazing Kit....

I am 30 now, It kinda made me feel abit childish at the begining to modify the F30, but it's 'almost' discreet and fell for the kit when I saw it on a Demo..

I am yet to meet someone who says they don't like the Kit, so far everyone has liked it

I think it's an eye catcher too. Unfortunately I think it is also a kerb catcher.

I actually prefer the chrome grills in those photos. Gives the car an air of quality. Shows how everyone is different.

Thing is the black grilles don't really show up well in photos, because of the way a camera works they do look a bit like black holes!

They do look much better with the human eye!

They definitely are kerb catchers, although it gets over most speed bumps you do become aware of how low the front end seems and avoid parking front-on against kerbs

Having this very dilemma for my EBII f30 due in march. They want to order and prep it a few weeks before so need to decide what colour to paint it.

Its either...

Gloss black lip, side skirt and diffuser
Matt black lip, side skirt and diffuser
EBII painted bottom lip with partial matt black, EBII side skirts, matt diffuser

I'm presuming once these are on its not an easy job to remove and paint?

Don't think it will be easy to remove and paint, they are bolted on and glued in place. I had to leave my car with the dealer for 24 hours to let the glue set, they did the painting beforehand and obviously needed to be done before it was attached. You will just need to decide on the paint job (go for option 3!), although gloss black would look good on EB...
