RMM Lip, cut or not

[mwilkinson]

No ear for me.

[ellis]

No ears - it's simple and suits the lines of a non-kitted car better....

 

Uncanny!!

[Paul372]

no ears, does it for me

[Ian W]

No ears here. I'd stick with the carbon though...Seibon TJ lip?

[jevansio]

I'm trying to tone the car down, & the carbon does nothing when trying to avoid the "stuck on" look. Plus the carbon doesn't respond well to grounding & I want to drop the car a little more to give it a more aggressive stance

[jevansio]

My new lip turned up today, massive thanks to Dusty, I am really impressed with it. It looks like a Wings West original (I thought it was an MVP copy), well it has Wings West moulded into the lip anyway

 

The rubber is very thick & looks like it's going to stand upto a hell of a lot of abuse.

 

It is a lot better made than the Seibon copy carbon I have. The edges where it attaches to the bumper are a lot better & bigger. It also has an edge so that de-earing it is very easy.

 

Will get pics when I get home

[Stonkin]

Sounds good mate.

 

You home yet?

[Guest chao's]

can't wait to see your picture

[jevansio]

Lol, home now,

 

When I picked it up, it wasn't in a long box, it was square, I originally thought Dusty had sent the wrong thing, when I opened it, it is so flexible it was rolled up.

 

Just got it stretched out at the mo, it's almost back in shape now really.

 

You can see in the pics the bit that keeps running round so when you chop the ears off you can still attach the bumper at the edge, the seibon CF one didn't have that. Also the tabs where you attach the bumper are a lot larger, a complaint I had about the seibon one.

 

I have a bumper to collect in the NE this weekend from Sprag5 for free (cheers mate) so may have it on in silver for the weekend.

 

 

[DaveR]

It's got to be no "ear" at all. Much smarter.

[CarlT67]

You mind me asking how much this rubber lip cost, and is that double sided tape on there to stick it on, I doubt that would be strong enough alone

[Scott]

That looks rather good it does! Fantastic that it is so flexible. That really will take some pain!!! Can't wait to see your car fully de-carboned. One of my favourites.

[jevansio]

Hey Carl, the lip was £250 inc shipping with £35 to pay on arrival customs & PF charges. Lol, yeah it will be bolted on using the original metal strips, not sure why they put the tape on

 

Cheers Scott bud, I hoping to get a respary before i put any more pics up, just hope I can get it done before SupraPod

[Stonkin]

That looks great mate and certainly looks like it will handle more abuse. Makes you realise getting ebay copies of things like this for 1/3 of the price just isnt always worth while

[jevansio]

Massive thanks to Sprag5 for the free front bumper & Paul Woods for giving it a lick of paint at such short notice.

 

The car is dirty as hell so I HDRd the hell outa the pics, i will get some better ones at the weekend when the car has had a wash.

 

I'm really pleased with the outcome, the bodykit guys might think it is a step backward looks wise, but for me the car is perfect now.

 

The lip needed to be modified to fit due to the ear being cut off, and some of my trimming work could do with a little tidying up if I wanted it perfect, but it'll do for now,

 

Comments welcome

Looks crap, should have left the ears on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks mint bud. Love it.

[JamieP]

Sorry i know im going against the masses but have to say i prefer the old look with ears.

[jevansio]

Full ear would have been a hell of a lot easier I tell ya, it's a pain to cut it's so strong & thick

 

Looks like I'll be keeping my other lip anyway, getting no interest in it, & I ain't letting it go for silly money, might get it sprayed when I get the car done & have an ear & no-ear bumper for when the mood takes me

[Homer]

Looks perfect Jay, really compliments the lines

 

Don't listen to Jamie, he's wrong (same as he is with the difusers)

[Bobbeh]

Why did I bother voting AFTER you went and did it! Anyway, glad I picked no ears

 

'Clean is mean'

[Stonkin]

That looks perfect mate but then the carbon one looked great to

[Guest blueangel]

like both looks carbon and this but gotta agree with jamie but a little ear dude

[j_jza80]

Looks spot on J.

[trinitom]

only think i would do is moving the plate number to the lip.

but looks nice anyway.

Numperplate on the lip looks naff.

 

Stock numberplate position or removed ftw.
