Default UK Replica OEM lip

Hi guys,
im new to this forum so I hope I posted this in the right place. Im reposting this to the UK section . im a new owner of a 2007 Berlina Black s2000! Best decision I’ve made in a while.
i love the look of the oem front lips but I know they can be costly which is why I was looking to compare to the best replica oem style front lips available so i could make a decision on which one to go for .
i wondered if anybody had or knew of any replica oem lips worth buying in the UK or online that could ship to the UK.
thanks

To be honest with you, I wouldn't bother with a replica. They never fit particularly well and need to be painted so colour matching with the bumper may be an issue.

It's painful but it really is worth paying the extra for the OEM. I know they're eye-wateringly expensive but you are guaranteed a perfect fit and the colour will be spot on.

Possibly not the answer you were looking for, but using a bit of man-maths to justify the additional cost-by the time you've paid for the lip, plus any VAT and import charges, add in the cost of painting and you're probably not far away from OEM anyway

After a lot of research I decided that this is the right way to go. I want the front lip, arch skirts, and the high level spoiler, so I will need to save for a while for them!

Hi! I've done exhaustive research, and I found out that the OEM lip/spoilers are VERY difficult to get and very expensive to get them new.
So, I will get myself a BMWChop spoiler (painted) on eBay and a good quality replica lip as well:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/OE-Style-Fr...-/370985913301

Actually, BAYSON R (the seller) advised me that he's keen on making a discount if we group-buy it. It would be:
Lip price: 74,99usd
Shipped from the US: 139.99 usd
(customs fees may apply)

Group buy discount on shipping:
1x 70 usd
2x 125usd
3x 168usd
5x 258usd
10x 382

I am going to order mines in a couple of weeks. Let me know if you are interested.

Cheers!
