Opinion on a front lip setup for MTech front bumper

I have a E90 LCI 328i sedan with a M-Tech front bumper. I am considering adding a lip to the setup and wanted opinions on what should I do out of the below options:
  • Add CF splitters and then a front lip like a Kerscher style lip
  • Straight up Volkommen lip and no splitters


Appreciate any suggestions/recommendations/opinions and even pictures if any of you have a similar setup.

Hahaha Paulo I am 95% convinced on going with your setup and you are the one who has got me thinking about this option in the first place. I just wanted to see what a couple of other folks think and then make the final call.

I knew that you would read the thread and make a comment

I agree on splitters and a lip like kerscher. Im going to do the same. R3deemed, what lip do you have and does it reach all the way to the edge of the bumper or end randomly at the splitter?

Those lips are from JL Motoring. The lip doesn't go from end to end. It ends probably 1 inch shorter on both sides.

I had the splitters first before putting the lip, so unfortunately I don't have one.

It really is. You can read up all you want about how to please a woman, you can look at all the diagrams in the world, but just like the clitoris, you won't know what the hell an apex is before you actually find it.

Exactly! Either way Sam Vora goes, it will be a win-win situation. It's just all about preferences. I won't mind having this Volkommen lip as well, to be honest. I think the only difference is, with having a separate lip, I can adjust as to how further out the lip could go.

I can actually say that it is adjustable coz I can move it outer or inner with just loosing the screws out. But your car looks amazing bro!

I got it from JL Motoring by sending an email to info@jl-motoring.com and asking them if they have a Kerscher Style lip. And this is what they gave me.
