Lip Gloss

[coopra R]

Got my front lip painted to give the front a deeper look.....wot you reckon ?

Before..

After...

Looks good! How often does it make contact with the ground though? Wouldn't have thought it'll last too long

 

[Icecavern]

Looks wrong to me sorry.

I wouldn't have done it, just from a practical point of view. I never managed to rip ours off, but caught it on loads of things, including our own sloped driveway.

I think it looks fantastic though, very factory, and finishes it off nicely. Just be careful!

In fact, consider getting some Armourfend type material, cut if to shape and apply to give it some protection from stones and light scuffs, etc.

 

[andyj]

have to be honest and say I prefer it black...

 

[nick-barnes07]

same here , prefer black , much easier to keep clean , as soon as the paint starts chipping of it will look very scruffy

 

[slick]

I think i prefer black, but then i think its coz its a silver, i suspect this is also the case on red's too... i think on a black it would blend in so much you wouldnt know anyway... but as other said it wont last long in certain areas.
But as they say, one mans steak is another mans poison, or something like that... lol

 

[Feel]

Yeah - it looks a bit buck toothed, sorry.

Thanks guys....good mix of feedback !...

I've got my spare black lip ....just in case i fancy changing back !

Have to say though - I like it....dunno if the pics do it much justice !

Not too often.....surprisingly less since I've lowered the car on coilovers !....

Hope I'm not speaking too soon !..

Good advice that....think I'll look into getting that done !

i prefer the oem look

 

[cordobabrendy]

Just think, in two weeks time its going to have the crackled effect of ferrari engine manifolds, on engines its cool, on the front of an otherwise mint car.....blaurghhh

 

[afcajax73]

looks good mate... and as long as ur happy with it im sure its worth doing... does make the car look lower nice looking car overall too nice 1

 

[G2232]

I think it does look pretty cool
NOw
but theres then the issue off it scrapping on anything more than 1mm off the floor as ruining the look

 

[lard44]

Think I prefer the OEM look - although that's not to say it looks bad. Just seems a little unnecessary to have an extra 'lip' that wasn't really there when it was black.

 

[karlosR]

doesn't float my boat, but if you like it then fair play to ya!

 

[gb]

seen it in red and now silver and still dosent look right ,better in the black

 

[coopra R]

Thanks for your opinions guys - either way !

Had a good look at it today....up close & distance...I still like it !

I'm not one for anything that spoils the original look of the car - but this mod is nice & subtle & doesn't look too much out of place....
so it stays for the time being....or until it leaves the car involuntary !
Then it's back to OE !....I aint paying to get it sprayed again !

Anyways...my ARBs came today.....I'm back to handling matters !

 

[seatcupra]

Looks good mate. Makes it stand out from the rest...

 

[Skorchio]

Im not so sure. Looks a bit like a bolt on mod from ebay Sorry
