Todd Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Just bought the following front lip http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=350194103468 Quite comfortable with painting it myself but any hints and tips on fitting it? Does the oem lip stay in place or does it come off? Cheers Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2o2 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Fraser Aka Dat Inter bought and fitted the exact same lip recently , maybe worth a pm - should be pretty straight forward though . The OEM lip doesn't stay - you sell that to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I fitted the same lip Todd. Couple of tips, use the OEM metal supports (maybe with new bolts as the old ones will no doubt shear off). Use Sikaflex to stick the side pieces. Get some clamps. Make sure the side pieces are the same height when you stick them. I fitted mine & I'm pretty useless at this type of stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris, you can have the lip if you want mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
