Gloss Black Front Splitter and Side Blades

All,

Looking at getting a gloss black front splitter and side blades for the car. There are alot of aftermarket ones out there... which one do I get :

This one seems decent and reasonably priced...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274469388125

What do you guys think?

Anyone in the UK bought one recently or have a libk to share...

Thanks in advance.

I bought what looks to be the same front lip, however I'm not in the UK, rather US. It was fairly easy to put on but I will say the hardware that came from the eBay seller was not ideal. Had to run to the store to get some rivets. Also had to drill holes in both the lip itself and the bumper. There were a couple pre existing holes in the bumper that were used and allowed it to be centered perfectly.

I also chose to go without the 2 bumper-cover prices purely out of personal preference. Here's a quick pic.

(Hopefully this post format is ok...don't usually use mobile )

Thanks for your reply bud. Yeah, your one looks very simliar/same to the one i'm looking at.

On my F06, I used 25mm coach screws and some large washers to secure the splitter. That was a Maxton splitter.

I'm loving the black and white combo on yours!

Here is the link for the one I bought, just for reference: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-G30-Fro...53.m2749.l2649

Looks exactly the same, hope it works out if you pull the trigger on it!

ebay one is great, I have it. And I did install the side wings - and I have to say, no tape needed at all, snug as a bug in a rug.

Sorry for bumping this, but the link doesn't work any more. Do you remember the name of the seller or the product? I think the lip looks nice and would like to buy one for my G31 as well. Thanks.
