    Euro bumper lip options

    I tried searching, but couldn't come up with much.

    I did find however that the non-euro valence is a pain in the ass to put on a euro bumper, thus I'm keeping the euro valence and trying to source a more aesthetically pleasing lip.

    So, what lip options do the euro bumper cars have?

    Any help is appreciated!

      The valances are the same shape. The "euro" just has fog light holes and the "US" one has no fog light holes and also has a gap under the front corners of the bumper.

      It's late and i'm not gonna search for pictures of lips. But someone else, i'm sure will post some up. If i remember i'll try to post some up if no one else does.

      Edit: and i see a picture of my old car got posted up :D

        So an IS lip would fit a euro valence then?

        That's the lip I planned on going with, just wasn't sure if it was possible.

        And the zender looks good, but I'm not sure how well I'd pull it off without the sides and rear.

          No the IS lip won't work on your car. You'll need and early model valance/lip.

            Or is he talking about the early model cow catcher? scabzzzz had one mounted on his car with euro bumpers.

              Good point. I'm not sure if he knows the difference between everything yet. I'm going to fill him in this weekend.

                        Hah, I saw the massive amount of interest it raised on KCSR. After actually seeing it I couldn't stop thinking about it, and decided I had to have it. I have a lot of things on the way still, but a lot of the little things it needed I'm getting buttoned up. :)

                        Sorry about moving on the car so quickly! haha
