Item Interest
Hi All, selling a B5 Alpina front lip (Replica) for the F10 Standard Non-M Sport bumper. The lip is made from Fiberglass and requires prep and paint.

I decided to go with something else so I am selling it now for $150.

Please provide me with your email address so I can forward pictures if interested.

Thanks!

Soo..I know im going to sound a bit assh*le-ish but I gotta ask the same, where this came from... I bought a similar lip from eBay for about $110 or something and it was shipped from Poland...however, the fitment was pretty horrible..so much so that I ended up buying the real deal and have this lying in my garage (gotta trash it soon).. it will be a headache for the body shop to get this done right IF you can find a body shop willing to work on fiberglass lips etc.. so whoever wants to get this or even the one on eBay..please be aware of these....

Honestly..I took that as a loss on my part to try to cheapen on a part that needs to be glued on and needs to look good since its right up at the front..

Yes, I got mine from eBay too and the fitment was horrible. I pretty much took a lost and gave it away for free! I learned my lesson, OEM only.

Don't go replica. The fitment was horrible. I ended up giving it away for free and did a M5 front conversion instead.

Heres what one finished looks like. This was urethane and didn’t require any prep/finishing really.

Edit: that top pic was just sitting on the car without fasteners. I noticed the grill sections weren’t sitting flush but that’s because I hadn’t installed the bolts yet.
