Turbo front spoiler

[timbo]

I want to replace my front spoiler lip and get it colour coded - Im doing this as when I took the car to France

3 weeks ago some person kicked and put a small dent in the rear offside panel -

I have taken it to 3 places and they say I cant " Dentmaster" the dent out as It is double skinned

so while the car is in the Paint shop I thought I would replace the front lip spoiler and paint it in the same colour as the car

Any Idea where I can get a replacement one ?

I live in London and the OPCs are charging £190.00 for this plastic bit !


cheers

Hi Tim

Did you scrape it getting on to the ferry/Eurostar ?

I am tempted to take mine abroad but the ground clearance is only about 10cm so I'm concerned that I will damage it even more than it is !

Would also be interested in a good place to repair the lip. However I have a GT2 body kit so am unsure if it is a simple job to replace the lip ?

I have 90mm clearance and Eurostar is OK if you drive v e r y slowley onto the ramp - or ask to go on the lower part of the train and no problems.
I find more problems with speed humps (especially the ones you don't see coming!!)

I also have a scuffed front lip and interested to know if its a DIY job to replace??

I had my front lip replaced at the OPC and it cost me £160 including the fitting.! Car was less than 6 weeks old and I had to much fun on some hairpins in Switzerland [], I also did the Moet tour on the way back, large carpark so no issues, nor any issues getting onto the chunnel although to be fair they do always send me on the lower decks.
I believe its about 6 plastic rivets to change.
