What Material is OEM M AERO front lip (E92)? Fixeable?

jeho · 01-09-2009, 01:53 PM

Does anyone know what material is the OEM M Aero front lip?

Reason I ask is because I cracked mine (driveway was too steep) and wondering if it would be fixable?

If not, im just going to order a new one now

Thanks

it's fixable!
i got a HFPP before and the towing truck actually cracked my aero lip by towing my car to the dealer
so i bring mine to a body shop and they told me it's fixable ....and i got it fixed

it cracked ? thats odd my guess is its polyurethane it should be pretty bendable.

Im sure it can be filled any pics?

Joonsup · 01-09-2009, 02:26 PM

Get a mtech bro! You have the rest of the pieces to make a badass ride!

It needs to be plastic welded.

SteveMondragon · 01-09-2009, 10:53 PM

All oem aero lips are an ABS plastic. Same material as your bumpers and side skirts. It's not as flexible as polyurethane, but it does have some give to it.

i just took it to a shop (frds place) and they said 150$CAD to fix and repaint

not bad imo

canucklion · 01-10-2009, 04:11 PM

that's a pretty good price.

btw, OEM bumpers, lips are made from PUR.

gian335 · 01-10-2009, 06:19 PM

thats a good price

Maybe Longtran can chime in since he's done so many different types of installs for people. I'd like to know what material all the various body kits are made with. From Hartge to Hamman to ACS and all the rest.

Maybe we can turn this into a sticky.
