front Splitter

metrickid · 02-18-2013, 11:36 AM

I would love to get this, saw it in person today and the complete kit looks soooo much better in person compared to images.

But being lowered and that front lip wouldn't be possible... I have 10 speed bumps from home to work.

Are you sure it wouldn't work?

I have no problems with my pretty low e90, I can drive over speed bumps at over 30 km/h without scrapping the front.

Although I see that the F30 splitter would be more of a challenge since it sticks out more in the middle.

I wanted to lower it, but after installing the splitter I think I will hold off.

As you say, I think it is the blade sticking out in front that will make it hard, the sides of the bumper won't be a problem. I'll have to see how low it gets with the coilovers on first. Spring is here soon, finally!

I believe it has clear bra which makes it look glossy, I don't think it is painted .

Clear bra will make the lip semi-glossy yes. Its a time of protection.

the glue that bmw recommend to use when installing the front lip or the rear spoiler. So all you did was just bolt on the lip, no 3m double sided tape?

Uh, iono about other people but my lip came with 3M tape on it. I only had to unwrap it - put it on my bumper, bolt it up for security and was good to go. I didn't buy any extra tape.

My splitter did not include any tape or the beta link. however BMW, instructions indicate to use the betalink adhesive.

Odd. I wonder why... Mine was from a dealer but originally from a distribution center.
