      Bitch to mount, we ended up using small bolts and drilling through the small overhang of the lip in to the holes for the stock clips.

      Worked out well though.

        Looks great for a cheap setup if you dont have an is lip already.

            Just the factory lip from my 325e.

            He didn't have a factory lip when he bought it and he bitched about it all the time, i said "Merry fucking Christmas" and let him take it off my car. :P

                  can you get closer pics of the install? i want to see where you drilled through and whatnot. might be a quick fix for my lipless (that sounded gross) 89.

                        There is nothing euro about that lip.

                        Looks pretty good though. You are a nice friend!

                              Just crawl up under there and pull off your factory clips, you'll see the holes i used and the places i drilled on that lip to make it fit with some small nuts and bolts.

                              I held the lip up for him while he marked the holes, we drilled, bolted down. Make sure you can get bolts in to some of the places, we drilled a few too many in places and couldn't get bolts in those crannies, now we have some bolt holes that can kind of be seen up close, he also drilled through the indent in front by mistake, heh. We need to fill all the factory holes and the extra ones we made.
