Anyone got any advice on a front lip spoiler for the M3 style bumper?
I prefer the V-style (Vorsteiner) than the GT. Mars is out of the CF V-style and its quite spendy, especially if it is ripped off.
I would be happy with plastic. I could always wrap it (will I ever learn?).
Open to suggestions.

Flow performance or Maxton like socket uses

Maxton design is not too easy and very robust
Tricky to fit unless you know how

So the M3 splitters generally fit the M3 style bumpers? I was afraid that the M3 style bumpers required specific splitters

Splitters? No M3 splitters wont fit the M2 rep bumper
I have tried these before and wasted my money

There are no spitters available for the M3 rep bumper afaik

I ended up plastidipping my vents to give it a splitter look
Lasted about a year before I peeled it off and did something else

Better pic of plastidip vents

Oh I see the maxton design web site refers to the lip as splitters
The Maxton lip fits, but as per above, M3 splitters (like the ones in your pic above) will not fit sry

Thanks Socket.
I recon that while I am wrapping I'll just copy your plastidip idea but with wrap. Your car is beautiful.

Finally got her out for a drive. Lots of looks. Neighbour came over to see "my new car".
Got home and realised that the front is LOW, the bumper was scratched really bad underneath. I will need to install the rear lowered springs to change the rake. Hopefully that will bring the nose up a bit.
Fitted the air ducts. They required some trimming but I did not do a complete redesign like Socket. I think I will end up rivetting them with black rivets and maybe shape the transition between the bumper and duct with some plastic body putty then wrap everything in there again.
Getting some seam sealing tape this week to address some areas where the vinyl is not sticking too well.
Ready for summer .

Nice work Aussie
Dont use body putty, it doesnt work well at all (been there done that)
What I use to fit the ducts is two or three small nuts and bolts along the top of the vent (out of sight) and then aluminum tape all around the vent (on the back of the bumper) to hold the vent in position
Probably doesnt make much sense but basically I position the vent where I want it and use aluminum tape to hold it in place (its super tough)
Then with the vent held in place, I drill two or three hold through the bumper/top of the vent and bolt it togther with some small nuts and bolts
I personally use three undertray screws and clips. Work great
If you want a hand, swing by and I'd be happy to fit it for you
Hope this helps
