Slek Lip...Gone on Highway
So I just had my lip put on professionally by a very trusted body shop and they delivered the car to my people at Eurosport here in Norman OK. I drove down the highway at 110 and heard a fluttering sound thought it was my turbos but it turned out to be my lip was improperly installed and the bottom fell out. Come to find out the shop only used a few bolts to put it on. Anyways I have done lots of business with my shop so they immediately went to take care of this. Within an hour I had a check for a grand.
The shop said with my competition oil coolers and hpf intercoolers the contours on the bottom are slightly different making it difficult to fit a all the way across piece. It's not impossible but he recommended strut bars if I did the slek piece again. Anyone have any recommendations. I have a agency power rear diffuser BMW performance spoiler and mirror covers and front grills

Could you post pics of your car? I was thinking about the AP diffuser but i've never seen full different angle shots on the car.

I had a Slek lip too, mine split in half on the autobahn. I heard a loud noise and something that sounded like it was scraping underneath my car, I took the next exit and sure enough the bottom section of the lip was gone. The top half was stuck to the bumper and definitely wasn't coming off.

yeah it does suck but, my shop took care of me which was great. I really did like that lip though. I think the problem was my oil coolers and my HPF intercooler really changed the contour of the lower fairing of my front bumper causing the shop to have fitment issues. I went with the agency power splitters and I added carbon fiber mirror caps and front carbon fiber grill BMW performance. I should have my gloss black ones up for sale soon.

I have the HPF i/c as well and I didn't have the fitment issues you were experiencing. The lip fit the bumper quite nicely it just couldn't withstand triple digit driving speeds.

No I don't. Which oil coolers do you have? If that was the cause of it I may have to reconsider some stuff cause I plan on getting another Slek lip but I track my car a lot and oil coolers would be really beneficial.
