Anyone have a combination of side winglets and a front splitter? Trying to imagine what the combo would look like, thanks!

I've been curious what an RKP GTS splitter would look like paired with the side winglets

[HungryM]

I want to install the M winglets with my Vorsteiner front splitter. Has anybody done this yet?

[Ntown M2]

Installed Mode Carbon front lip.

Someone please give a solution to this!

I have both the Vorsteiner lip and the OEM side winglets...unfortunately i don't have an M2...yet, lol.

car should arrive in about 45 days at which time all the "goodies" I have will be installed.

Tick tock...waiting sucks.

There are pictures on this forum if you look. IND posted a few.

BMW did it for you... I just hope these are parts become available with the CS

Ended up going OEM with front winglets instead of a splitter, though may look into the sterckenn splitter with the winglets later.

Think this look amplifies the m2 stance at some angles, so pretty content. Some quick iPhone images

I want to see more pics of splitters and front winglets...
Wonder if I can get the mode carbon splitter to fit with the winglets, or even with the lightweight splitter.

Here it is with the Sterckenn splitter.

Sterckenn lip with M Performance front winglets!

[jav_au]

that's is my favorite combo. will most likely add the sterckenn lip to my m performance winglets down the track. I pretty much want to mirror the setup as posted by ind above! pity that the 763m wheels need spacers to look flush because spacers are illegal here in Australia.

hey man, that black on black look is what i want my future M2 to look like, what are those wheels?

[jav_au]

they are the BMW 763m wheels. they need spacers to fill the guard like that. I contacted the owner to find out more about the car as it is exactly what I want to do to mine. however spacers are illegal in Australia

The Sterckenn lip + Performance side winglets is the perfect combination. No to aggressive! Makes the car looks clean.

RKP has a new lip coming out at SEMA

[longbeachbluem2]

I spy some mirrors...

New RKP GP lip will be released after SEMA

When BMW unveiled the M2 MotoGP safety vehicle in the first quarter of 2016, dealers had yet to receive a single factory example to their showroom floors. The M2 received the full suite of M Performance modifications from BMW ///M, as well as other interior and exterior custom components that were exclusive to the vehicle. With the unveiling, it was greeted with a large positive response from the community due to its performance with little to no compromise approach. With the image of the car in their minds, enthusiasts that received their M2’s went straight to modifying their vehicles with many of the available M Performance parts that BMW had made available. However, the front lip was one piece that was left out of the parts list.

In light of the positive response towards the front lip from the community, RKP set out to design a lip that improved upon BMW Motorsport’s design. With only a few of the lips made specifically for the MotoGP safety vehicles, RKP’s design of the lip had to be done from the ground up.

The upper portion of the M2 MotoGP lip was made by BMW Motorsport to contour the lower body line of the front bumper with recessed areas to accommodate the M Performance front bumper winglets. During the design of the RKP version, the winglets were integrated into the profile for a cleaner single piece appearance. In addition to the upper portion of the lip, there was a fixed lower splitter designed similar to the appearance of the original. The initial design for the lip was done in designworks, with all visualizations of it mounted to the bumper handled through keyshot.

Once the design was finalized, prototypes of the upper lip and lower splitter were milled from PVC to the dimensions of the CAD design file.





With the completed prototype, the lip was painted satin black, test fitted and final adjustments and modifications were made to ensure precise fitment to the M2's front bumper.











Once the prototype was complete, tooling and production processes were all carried out in house at RKP. The upper lip and lower splitter are constructed using a vacuum infusion process, giving the pieces added strength and durability. These bi-products are a result of an excellent carbon fiber-to-resin ratio, and no voids present in the finished composite due to the vacuum infusion.



The construction of the upper front lip starts off with the carbon fiber being hand laid into the master mold. Hand laying the carbon provides long term durability, a high level of finish, and a complete geometric shape with regards to the mold.



After the carbon is laid into the mold, the lip undergoes the vacuum infusion process where air is pulled out of the carbon fiber, and epoxy goes in. The mold is covered with green peel ply and flow media which make a controlled flow of epoxy possible during vacuum infusion.



Once vacuum infusion is complete, the finished product is removed from the mold.



When the two sections of the upper lip are constructed, they are bonded together and laid on a certified flat surface. This allows for inspection to ensure that the underside of the lip is flat, so it can successfully be mated to the lower splitter.





The lower splitter is a clamshell design with a Nomex cell core and integrated aluminum hardpoints. Though Balsa cores are most frequently used in a front splitter application due to being very lightweight, if external damage exposed the core of the splitter, balsa is very moisture absorbant and would cause deformation of the lip over time. Nomex is superior in this regard, as it will not absorb moisture.





The end product is a solid, one piece construction for the upper lip and lower splitter respectively, using only non-commercial, high-grade carbon fiber.With the process being done in the same facility from start to finish, part validation and vehicle fitment procedures can be conducted with ease, assuring quality of the final product.
