I have been waiting for a functional setup from a company like APR for a long time.

Tell them if they can make one for me by SEMA I can display it on my car in the North Hall.

just got back from APR. they measured it with the lip on, but you can slot the holes to make it work with the stock bumper. because the middle of the bumper is higher than the sides, spacers might be needed to hold it in place. it will stick out 2" from the edge of the 3d design lip, or 3.5" from the stock bumper. when the piece comes in, we'll figure out where to attach the rods. we also looked into rear wing fitment. unfortunately they're sold out and don't have spare parts around to get me out the door, but should be ready in about a month.

Only APR I know is from my VW/Audi days of APR tuning. Are we talking about the same company?

Unfortunately we could not get the product in a condition that was good enough to offer the community. We decided not to proceed with it.


Another option for a front lip is the RKP Carbon front lip










There are adjustable under splitters available as well.

Painted


Carbon

Is this going to be for the OEM bumper or for the 3D lip only?

Where does the smaller piece go? The lip on the white M2 looks like a 2 piece while the green one looks like a one piece. But the small piece in the uninstalled pics looks too small to go under like the one on the white car.

Any pics of the underside like is it finished nicely on both sides or hollow?

it will work w/ the OEM bumper since the mounting points will be the same. according to the guys at APR, they could make two different lengths available if the one for the lip sticks too far out from the stock bumper. The 3D Design lip sticks out 1.5" from the bumper. The splitter will add another 2". The other thing to consider is that you may need something to add additional support under the middle part of the bumper since it's higher than the sides. APR may provide the spacers to make this work too. when i go back for the test fitment, i'm going to bring a friend who doesn't have a lip yet to see what else needs to be done for the OEM bumper.

The smaller piece is for reinforcement between the bumper and the RKP Front lip. DIY: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...5#post21046735

The lip on the green M2 is just of the upper RKP front lip. The one on the white M2 is the upper RKP front lip with the painted Fall-line lower splitter.

With a couple of stone chips that got through the paint, I decided to get the bits resprayed. This prompted me to look at getting some additional work done by the body shop - namely a front lip.

With the limited number of tuning shops represented in Australia, I looked at getting the AC Schnitzer front lip with the canards. I know it isn't to everyone's taste but at least it looks like ACS has done some testing on their kits and is part of the ACS2 program that has chalked up some impressive times.

Unfortunately I just saw the installation manual of the front lip and it is a massive undertaking. Not only do you have to screw the lip attachments to the underside of the bumper, you have to remove part of the bumper and the black bits of the front wheel well and drill holes through the number plate holder, and cut off part of the existing bumper to fit a bracket that holds it in place.

So back to square one.

Any other Australian distributors for a good front lip?

I've just ordered the mode carbon splitter.

Their splitter uses the existing holes I believe.

So it's a direct import and you have to pay GST?

[Luyi_pr]

Very interesting thread... Had being debating about what front lip to install with my other OEM carbon bits, since I don't particularly enjoy the OEM wings. Just noticed that Lightweight has a carbon version of his lip. Anyone with pics and/or experience with it.

Thanks!

Was surfing the intranet. Came across this splitter.... anyone know what this is?

[Doji desu]

Doggie, I have the lightweight in ABS if you want to have a look. Be a couple of weeks away though setting up on the Fraser coast for some quiet camping.

GOD DAMN! that has to be the best splitter I have ever seen!

Can you somehow ask the guy if it is custom made or a production splitter from a company?

[Bt12]

I’d love to ask but i don’t speak German. Lol. My hunch is that it’s a front splitter for another car...not the m2 but mounted similar to the lightweight.

You can make it relatively easy. .

1) Buy pvc trim boards 1/2” 4x8 sheet... cut out shape with a jig saw...
https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-2-in-x...0360/205079515

Sand the edges to smooth it out if you don’t have a router.

2) then either wrap it, paint it, or lay some carbon fiber. Wrap is probably $10, Carbon fiber kits would be more like $50-100.

You can do the same to make the side skirts.

Probably cost all but $100-200 + time. I’d do it but wife says I can’t mess with this car.

I like it Anybody contact them about it or try one? I like how it got all the way under the front valance and does not look like it is just hung on the front edge. Also it does not flare out on the sides, not looking for the snow plow look

Another lip....pictures on the other pictures in the description

After a few delays (hardware related) we are finally set to release the RKP GP front lip tomorrow. The new lip will be available in Gloss carbon (2x2) and FRP (fiberglass) in a Satin black finish.
