Default Facelift front lip

Just wondering what alternatives i have instead of buying a oem one? The fact it costs more than the bumper its self i cant really justify it. Are there any third part ones that look the same or as good and have good fitment.

Anyone tried the products from tarmac sport?

No aftermarket part is gonna fit as well as oem, just depends if you know a good bodyshop that is willing to put in the extra work that will be needed to make it fit. I bought my lip off ebay, the guy I used did a good job and I was 90% happy with the end result. But I always said if I bought another s2k I would get a oem lip next time to make it perfect.

^^^^ What he said.

No third party will fit that well (my Pre Facelift lip looks ok but nowhere near perfect)

If you're not in any kind of hurry and don't want to pay new OEM price, put a WTB add on the forum.

well i phoned hendy and a facelift front lip is a lot more than the bumper. I'm guessing second hand they will be in the range of 200 pounds?
its very costly....

I think your only chance is one off a car which has been rear ended.
