Checked with 3D, front lip spoiler will only reduce 15mm of ground clearance

I can almost feel RC3 rushing to order his front lip now

Thanks Jxnco for inquiring 3D and the lip will increase ground clearance by 15mm. So my 30mm test should be safe with plenty of margin.

my wheel gaps are about 1.5 fingers now. you guys can bench mark on this.

the Z guy said no more discount and I told him you got a quote of 1.5k for install vs. mine of 2k. no reply from him yet. try to nail him to do it for 10k total.

i thought you said 20k for the wrap, raised price again? nail him man. just tell what i usually say, " i have many bros who are waiting to see how my car turned out, if good I will refer my bros to you". hehe.

Done a few more trials by sticking the box at the sides. Not scraping what so ever. Will be pulling the trigger for the 3D front lip.

Actually, after staring at the picture for couple of times, I think I like the 3D Design front lip with the standard F10 front better than the lip with M Sport front. Just flows a bit better and the lower double lip looks a bit more aggressive then just the thickened M Sport lip add-on

And the 3D Design lip for the M Sport sort of flatten the contour from the bottom of the M Sport front which makes it a bit boring to me.

But that just me. To each their own, I guess.

haha you have always liked the 3d design more.

What made the decision for me was that the 3d design is aftermarket and Msport is oem...so at least it is a plus for selling rather than aftermarket with 0 value.

Yeah, you are probably right. My choices are either original with 3D lip or just the M sport. So I don't have to add anything to the front now

Copy that.

For me, I don't like the two pointy indentations too much. If they were step recesses like the M5 or the M3 (see comparisons), I am more pleased. Just don't suit my eyes.

For the SE 3DDesign front lip, it has the two slots which I don't like so much either. I like simple and slick design, not into those complicated ones which bunch of slots and holes. Just my personal preference.

That's why I only like the 3D M Sport front lip. The splitters are too much for me. The rear spoiler is a bit large to my taste and the diffuser is a bit too complicated. I prefer the OE rear spoiler and OE M diffuser. Simple and slick.

To me, SE with that 3D lips is good enough, even without M sport.
So I can save M sport

Jacky bro, that would save you 5k. do check with the scrapping though. the SE 3D lip seems like protruded a lit more than the M sport one.

I thought Mlai had this before and he kept on scraping it. This is even without lowering his car if I'm not mistaken.

Yep. I don't want to be within 10 miles of any road in HK on which Mlai is driving.

On second thought, HK is too small, make that 3 miles, otherwise, I won't be able to drive my car at all if Mlai is driving

I wanted to get 3d designs, but my gf liked MSport more..so i decided to just let her choose. Plus since oem, better resale value. But, yes, the 10 day wait is very tempting.

You guys are having a meetup at Z hahaha.
