Help! Varis Front Lip Installation


Hello guys, I've been combing forums for the last couple weeks trying to find ANYONE who has a varis front lip installed on their f30, and cannot find a single write-up on how to do it!

Obviously the basics are remove all screws on bottom bumper and re-use/ drill holes where the splitter ones don't line up, but a clear instruction path would be appreciated! I do have the m-sport bumper etc etc, just need to know what to do with the old screws/pins/bolts.

Come on guys, I've seen a decent amount of you with the varis splitter, please help. I'll gladly post pics once it has been installed

So under your front bumper, you have a ton of screws/pins right? The holes from the varis lip don't all line up, so did you remove ALL the extra screws on the bottom bumper so that it sits flush?

This is the part I'm confused about

Doesn't make a difference. I left them in. I bought mine used but i still called cali to ask them questions. It's a very straight forward install it's not oem so I doubt it will ever be completely flush.
