Default Amuse lip fitting

Ive been trying to fit the bugger for the last couple of hours, Can anyone tell me how far it should hang as the bugger wont go up my rather steep garage entrance is it suppose to line up with the fog light area line ? as i can get a nice fit when it mounted lower but it will get killed on the entrance ramp oh well looks like ill be selling it cheap now, painted in silverstone anyone ? Also any other lips one could recommend ? or anywhere i could get hold of a OEM lip. Some help would be great as i think it need somthin gon the front . Right
im off down the pub

Reverse up your drive The amuse lip is notoriously difficult to achieve a good fit - count yourself lucky you can get it to fit well at all (albeit not in the position you'd like)

It is supposed to be installed with a drop of 1" which is not a lot of use in the UK. I installed mine with a 1/2" drop and have gaps.

Not after that glowing praise! Shame as I really like the Amuse. Is it geinuine?

The OEM one looks good, as does the Seibon one. J's do a nice half lip. Mugen one looks odd....

As all ready said , its meant to mount lower but with our roads and speed bumps etc... it will get killed , you have to compromise i guess
