I can't believe nobody's got all over this yet: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/100...ker-front-lip/

If I hadn't just sprayed and fitted my OEM lip, I would have bit his arm off. These are rare as hens teeth!

OEM all day. There are replicas for cheap on ebay but hear that they can be a dodgy fitment. Might be worth a pop though for £120?

let us know how you get on

The above type is similar to the one I bought for my last 'S' (approx £65 new of Taiwanese origin), and I found it fitted quite easily.
It did however need some pulling & cramping to get it around the bumper ends so don't even think of pre-painting with these.

As it happened I twatted it on a cattle grid 2 months later so for me it was a waste of cash!!

I wish I bought the lip for sale on here late last year now. I was being tight over a tenner and totally regret it now.

The eBay ones don't usually have the fitting gasket like the OEM ones which makes them look a bit odd I think + they don't always fit that great to start with.
Keep a look out for an OEM one or buy a genuine part...
