View Full Version : Lip Spoiler Project Part I
Petes540i6 02-10-2008, 10:14 PM Inspired by jord1016's lip spoiler project. I am doing a similar project with an ebay polyurethane lip spoiler. Lot's more to go, but I thought I'd post these teasers.
The idea, of course is to make it look like a one-piece bumper. I'm using Fusor 143 for the filler, and it's working very well. Thanks to Nightkrawler for the parts.

Shardul 02-11-2008, 12:08 AM nice work, post pics of the final outcome.
FP5241 02-11-2008, 12:09 AM I gotta say... pete's looks more fluid.. guess thats another good reason to have an 01+ bumper... :(
98 528i 02-11-2008, 12:10 AM I have a oem front lip if anyone needs one :D, pretty cool idea I never really thought of it before.

How much are you selling for?
98 528i 02-11-2008, 12:30 AM Make me an offer, it's already packaged sitting in my garage. Shipping is a lot because of it's length though I think, if anyone is relatively close I could meet halfway, if not I could get another quote.

Mine's a pre-'01 like Jord's.
. . . however, the lip spoiler is the ebay 01-03 bumper modified to fit the old stye fogs.

waapples 04-02-2008, 12:21 AM Just checking, how's it going?
StevE39 04-02-2008, 12:25 AM sorry to hijack thread, but would it be possible to fill in the middle of the lip with filler so that the two sides don't look like splitters, but rather a continuous lip?

You have the same idea as I have, I think the splitter look is good for the modded bimmers but I personally think it looks kindda odd w/ non-modded bimmers, like my 528i.
I like the look of 01-03 stock non-M bumper, since it has little built-in lip already, when compared to 97-00 stock non-M bumper.
gdizzle 04-02-2008, 12:46 AM looks good!!!!!!!
I really want one!

great minds think alike :stickoutt
waapples 04-02-2008, 01:54 AM I've been trying to get a hold of 01-03 titanium silver front bumper but no luck yet, but got the 01-03 front bumper (somewhat trashed) from the local member, I might just cut out the bottom portion of it and try to custom fit on my front bumper to see how it would look :)
Oh well, it's worth to try before toss it into the trash can right? :)
quacktoduck 04-02-2008, 02:29 AM wow mike i trashed my old bumper huh dang nice way of putting it... your welcome btw
waapples 06-16-2008, 04:12 PM wow mike i trashed my old bumper huh dang nice way of putting it... your welcome btw
Hahaha, didn't see your post 'til today, which is 2 months & half later.
Sorry meng, didn't mean to say in bad way. :)
I knew the condition of the bumper since you've already mentioned it to me :)
Plus, can't complaint, since it was a darn free bumper!:buttrock
I think I'm going to work it out to do something with it.
Will keep you updated if you are interested :buttrock
98 528i 06-16-2008, 08:06 PM My front lip is still for sale :shifty

Cant begin to guess how much these are worth but I would like to get one someday. Any idea what kind of offers would not insult(you could PM me) Also I could come pickup.
