Washed the car and went out to do some stuff and get some proper photos of the new front OEM lip and license plate holder delete.
Superbly happy with how it came out. Was a bit nervous I'd hate the lip, but I ended up really loving it.

Looks really good! I still regret getting rid of my OEM bumper for a M5 bumper.
Now for some lowering springs.
Awww Karbon. All we get is two pics!
Still, it's lookin' molto bene!
PS Your car looks brand new!

Thanks guys!
It's way cheaper than getting a whole new bumper too lol.

Sweet!!! my lip came in last week and I'm waiting on brows to come in to paint em together (along with a wing I got in wrong red). I'll post pics then as well if I can figure out how to from the iPhone app
I like it, its not so common even on the forums but it looks good imho. congrats!
That looks awesome, and super clean. Job well done.
Man how I wish I could do a front license plate delete around here. My car would look exactly like this. I was thinking about putting the plate behind the lower grilles. Too tacky?

^^^ what are the rings in that grill in the post above? Ive seen those on the M5 bumper but never in the non-sport before
Sink drains. No kidding.

OP: That is super clean and your ride's condition is immaculate.
Yes, I agree, I miss my OEM bumper with OEM front lower valance.

Karbon, when was the last time you did a full detail? Your paint's finish is stunning!
Very clean, Nice and sexy! Where did you get you lip from?
Looks great! Your headlights are so clear compared to mine!
Does anyone know where or if this lip is still available? Ecs doesn't have it anymore.
looks fantastic, its the one i have been wanting to add to my black saphire.
Not sure about others but i have seen a similar lip around ebay for <$100.00, worth it? link
Is this a simple bolt on? anyhow, your cars looks awesome!
The eBay ones for the facelift e39's are not even close to what the oem ones look like. The ecs ones were the best I've seen, but they don't have it anymore
Karbon,
Looks spectacular! Side view possibly?
Found the OEM part number (51110139583), but apparently it's been discontinued :-(
