BMW E30 IS LIP

Recommended Posts

I'm after an IS lip for one of my E30's. Does anyone have one for sale? Or know where you can get one? I remember someone saying on here that someone in hamilton I think made them.....?

Cheers

You can get the fibreglass ones from here for 70 dollars. You can get a plastic good quality one for about 180-200 imported from states. Or you can buy genuine for 280-300. I sold my last one but can help you source if need be

Here's mine from Hans, with zip-tie engineering. Needs some trimming to fit but not too bad for the price

How do these $70 fiberglass ones attach? Do they fit into the standard clips?

yes, you will just need to trim the tabs a bit (from the mold i assume), basically make it look like the factory thin lip, and it will then clip right on, mine it on there very snug which is good. no need to ziptie on if you valance isn't bent and/or clips missing

Is anyone running this fibreglass lip on a reasonably low e30? if so does the fibreglass cope with scraping? or does it shatter or crack? Just curious!

My lip has been through a fair share of hits/scrapes and a few times its come off. but it still is solid with minor cracks. Also, I've cable tied it on, so its better when u go and hitit, the cable tied give out before the actual tabs break. And its more easier to put it back on

they are fiberglass, they are always going to break sooner or later. If your car is really low, might be economically better for you to buy a genuine plastic one, at least they bend etc

But as long as its only you that drives the car, and you use your brain when driving eg, going up and more importantly down curbs on an angle, dont drive all the way forward in a carpark with those beams on the ground etc, you will be fine. I have never knocked my second one off.

How did everyone get theirs on? re cut the mouldings so it can fit the clips? or another way?

If you want to use the clips you have to trim the tabs of cheers.

I just grind the tabs back and it works sweet.

Yup I also had the same thing happen with my second one. I had it on and was going to fix it but the tall gutters in the angled parking got to it first. You only make that mistake once haha
