Cheap Black Poly Urethane Front Lip

Saw this on ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-11-BMW-E8...item2a149b63e5

Any members bought it? It's really cheap, just want to see how's the fitment is if anyone bought it. Plus it's poly Urethane, so it wont crack that easily.

thanks for the head up, did you try to heat it up under the sun? normally poly urethane front lip, it needs to leave it in the sun for the few hours to turn it back to originally shape. I was gonna contact them and pick up locally but if the fitment is bad, i guess i will just forget about it

I bought this a few months ago for the fun of it, and while fitment is fairly crap, I've come to like the look of it.

The gap between the chin and lip is huge! Is that due to the fitment being crap?

No that's the design - the middle section is a dropped cross bar. It's better seen in the front on shot.

The fitment flaws are more subtle and not all that obvious in these photos.

In any case, for a PU lip that sits low, and nudges curbs, its not bad. Plus it won't crack like CF the moment it meets a bit of concrete.

by "heavy" do you mean 20lbs heavy? or just a few lbs more compared to its genuine CF counter parts. Curious as to buying one and improving on its flaws.

5lbs or less. It's certainly heavier than dry CF, but nothing extraordinarily heavy

the 128i version may fit the design better.

I certainly will consider ordering this.
