Do yourself a favour and get the OEM lip, as mentioned it comes with all the fittings you need.......and more importantly fits like a hand in a glove.It will come colour coded so no bother with getting paint to match. If you're fussy about your S (which lets be honest, we all are) the OEM is the only one, and you wont need any heat gun!!. Si @ Hendy is the man.

I've used the Taiwan version on my last 'S' and it does a good job ....cheap !
however if you want your to look the canine's wotsits then OEM is the way to go. I bought an OEM one for my 'new' S2000 from the local stealer who beat everyone on price and delivery, and it obviously comes in the correct colour.

Fitting is easy as long as all bolts are free (i.e. Not seized)

Unless you have a pre-facelift then you have no chance of getting an new OEM lip as they are no longer manufactured.

How much are these from hendy colour coded? Also how much lower do they sit as I have a steepish driveway and is rather close as it is, if anyone could measure before and after I'd be very greatful

They only sit a little lower (sorry, thats not too helpful I know, i don't know by how much), but its worth bearing in mind they stick further forward as well if an incline is your worry.
