Any issues with negotiating steep driveways? How much ground clearance do you lose? Definitely want this but I already occasionally scrape my driveway. Can some owners chime in?

I put this on because things were starting to look ragged underneath despite being really careful with curbs etc. I haven't changed how I drive and I don't think the lip has made contact with obstacles at any higher rate than without. That may seem counterintuitive but I havent found that the minimal decrease in ride height causes any greater frequency of contact / scraping.

Just received my Gloss Black front splitter and it looks great!

Now just need to find the time to get it installed but we are so busy at the moment it might have to wait.....

Thanks for the great service Marc

Today the forwarder contactet me. The price for the shipping with Fedex ECO:

USA,Canada: 66,- €
Thailand: 72,-€
Dubai: 78,-€
GB: 32,-€

For non Europe Staates there will come around 30,-€ for the tax-handling forwarding more to the shipping.

I think we can make by an group order 300,- € for the PE Lip plus the shipping/tax - hope that's all right !?
Marc, I'm in for the group buy. Please PM me your paypal email address so tha I can pay.

I got my CF front lip intalled last friday along with the CF rear spoiler, it looks amazing. the front lip matches the Performance CF rear spoiler. Couldn't be any happier.

How similar is the carbon fiber to the Bmw oen carbon fiber. I like things to match.

Lightweight

Hi

Lightweight have a website. Marc is a good guy to deal with and still matches the group buy price if you contact him. I bought mine in June 13.
Cheers
