F31 Front Splitter recommendations.

Hi All - Can anyone recommend a front splitter for my F31 that dose not comprimise ground clearance to much. The pot holes are shocking so i was looking for a gloss black splitter that tracked and followed the under side of the bumper rather than straight across or even just end pieces. would it be possible to buy one of the 3 piece spotters and just fit the outer edges.

Thanks in advance.

That’s exactly the look and type I am after. Do you know what they are called and where I can get some.

Here you are: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNHOUmR

I have them fitted already for more than a year, few notes:
- the fitment is perfect, you just need to use a strong double-sided tape
- excellent finish - have no visible wear
- they are of a little bit different shape than the OEM - with a curved shape, imo looks much better and provide additional protection from front curb rash on the bumper
- worth mentioning that while the inner part covers the bumper both from top and bottom, the outer part does not cover the bottom (if you need some additional pics, PM me)

How hard is it to install a front flip by oneself at home? It's one thing (along with diffuser) that I really want to install on my F30. I have the M bumper and I think it just complements the look so well

I'd recommend another set of hands to help hold it aligned. Mine didn't come predrilled so it was a pain to hold and drill at the same time and since it's the Varis style lip it's easy to spot where it's slightly off. I'm going to redo it eventually.
