Used OEM Front Lip??

I have a 2007 BSM E92. I also have 82k miles on the car. I want to get the OEM Aero lip but the front end of my car is riddled with little marks and dings from the sheer number of miles i've put on the car.

So should I look for someone selling a used BSM Aero lip? If I buy a new one, won't the difference in paint colors make it look noticeably "odd." Also, won't it look weird that half my front end looks new, and the other half chipped??

you, as the owner, may notice it but 99% of people won't. I also have an '07 BSM e92. The hard part will be finding a used BSM aero lip. I searched for months and finally just decided to go with the JBSPEED rep. The fitment is almost perfect. Unless your paint has just been neglected there shouldn't be that big of a difference. Also, the aero lip will get tons of dings etc from gravel on the roads, so it won't take very long to match up
