Impulse buys make for great pics


My M3 already has trouble getting out of my driveway as it is. To add more to that, I decided against my own logic to participate in the GTS LIP group buy setup by Epoustouflant

Review

Fitment isn't as good as I hoped for something that is a true replica of the original. A big reason for this is that it is FRP vs ABS plastic on the OE part. ABS is way more flexible and would've fit the gaps a lot better. That said, it looks damn good. Now I have a problem getting up my driveway....

Fitment: 8/10 (this might need to be edited as some people are getting better fitment than me)
Installation: 6/10


#Hardware required for 1pc

Drill bit for M6 size
3M VHB 1/4" tape
Stainless steel
M6 Nylon locking nuts
M6 washers x 12
M6-1.0x16mm x 4
M6-1.0x20mm x 2 (needed as you will need to drill into the side felt pieces as well. I didn't have the 20mm and just removed a washer.

#Fitment
For the best fitment, theunholy and I determined that the end of the lip needs to line up with the bumper. This unfortunately will bring some gaps at the outer edges of the lip but it is better than the middle area where the lip needs to follow the curvature of the bumper. For best results you will need to remove the bumper for installation.
