Msport front lip/splitter

Post by greg81 » Tue Jan 01, 2019 9:28 pm

I'm after a front splitter that fits over the bottom lip of the msport front bumper but ive only been able to find carbon fibre ones that are £300+

Can anyone recommend an affordable one please?

Looking at the photos in that thread that might just be the lower splitter, and not include the piece covering the lower part of the bumper as well.

I've sent a PM so will see what comes back

Hi Greg,

Sorry, just got your pm as my inbox was full.

You’ll need to contact Will as he was the one who made it for me. https://restore44.co.uk/products/mini-a ... t-splitter

Great, thanks for the link. What I'm actually most interested in is the black of the lower main bumper, not specifically the splitter itself.

All the carbon ones I've found have the cover built in to the splitter itself but from what I can see yours isn't the same. Where did you get the black cover? Is it wrapped?

Cheers!

Wrap gets the job done of you only want to black out the lower part of the bumper...

I miss the M326 wheels I must admit. The M359’s were always what I wanted but said I’d only do it if the 326’s cracked. Low and behold, 1st MOT failed because of cracked wheels!

I may look at going for the M4 wheels this year, back to a more open 5 spoke wheel but still a 10j rear. Will show off the brakes better too!
