Mike k-g Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Just looking to see what people think. I have a mines front lip in gloss black fitted to my GM, i;m toying with spraying it to match the car but cant deside will it look better..anyone have any pics with mines fr lip sprayed? Not looking for one on a black car. Thanks Mike K-g Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Super-stu has one on a GM I believe Quote
Stutopia Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Super-stu has one on a GM I believe You rang I think mine is a Veilside V3 replica, but it's not far from the Mines as that was the only other one I considered. Looks like this in body colour, which is very much how I prefer it. Quote
Richie94gts Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Other option is just to spray the centre black and leave the rest colour coded which all looks really nice. Do you have black skirts? If not I'd go go colour coded or black centre. Quote
Richie94gts Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Having said that, just did search and the black looked really nice! Ignore my previous comments Quote
veilside z Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Everyone to their own, both cars looking great. :) Quote
Stutopia Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 That black does look nice Payco :thunbs: Is it painted black or as it comes? Quote
RobPhoboS Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I really want one of these Mines lips, they look like an OEM option, suit the car nicely without being OTT. Quote
Stutopia Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Mine is the carbon one from RT Performance.. So it is, couldn't see on my phone. Looks the shizzle. Quote
Mike k-g Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Agreed Thanks everyone for reply..My mind is made up....keeping it black after seeing your pics. Quote
Smitherb Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Payco, Do you get any probs with front clearance and speed bumps with the front lip? (and are you running standard springs/shocks?) Cheers Quote
martybhoy Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I'd say keep it black the contrast is a nice touch imo. Just added pics of mine to my build thread. Quote
buster Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 if anyone wants one of these, i ve got one for sale. Quote
LDUNKZ18 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 anyone have issues with fitment in these mines style lips? i just bought from rt performance and its a bitty out of shape to the bumper Quote
Tinyflier Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 anyone have issues with fitment in these mines style lips? i just bought from rt performance and its a bitty out of shape to the bumper Yes. Was slightly too narrow and didn't fit well around the grille aperture. With some effort managed to JUST get the ends to wrap around the lip of the wheel arch but clearly was under some stress as it started to split along the ends in a few months. Took it off and binned it. David Quote
LDUNKZ18 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 ohh! yeah same as what mines like. its out of shape along the grille part of the bumper and very tight at the sides... like under alot of tension... was it rt performance u bought it from? i was roughly £200 so if its gonna crack after a few months i wont be too impressed tbh Quote
Darkside Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Had a few fitment issues myself (same issues) but drove to their workshop where Taras sorted with some sanding and now looks great Edited March 21, 2016 by Darkside Quote

Payco Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Mine was fitted by RTP and I had no issues. Self tapper in each wheel arch and bingo. Not on my car anymore though. Edited March 24, 2016 by Payco Quote
LDUNKZ18 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Hahaa definitely not as simple as a few self tappers thats for sure unless ive been unlucky and got a lip completely out of shape. Ill get it to fit eventually just takes time Quote
LDUNKZ18 Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 mines now fittting "ok" but took heaps of grinding and sanding and faffing about. just hope when i paint the bumper and splitter the bond i use can hold it in place as theres a gap along it before the grill opening. Quote
