Thanks for the reply buddy.

I was planning on doing that exactly, however was looking for any specific tips, i.e type of screws, location of the screws, wether i would need to drill pilot holes etc etc

Maybe have a look on the RKP website as they may have fitting instructions there

I think i maybe forced to get a splitter like the one in this thread. I was looking for a splitter anyway and then last week ive noticed a 2 big deep chips down by the bottom of the bumper on one side, this type of splitter will cover it so happy days!

Sweet. Mine arrived today and i ordered some self-tapping screws that also arrived, however just waiting on some 3M VHB to come. Then im good to install

As the title says, managed to fit the lip on yesterday, it was a long process, anticipated itnwould take me a couple of hours, all in all probably took me around 4.

I had to shave the edges and some self tappers wouldnt seat home.

I put double sided tape and about 7 20mm bolts/screws under. It does feel secure so quite content, however still a little paranoid.

Thank you all. Defo looks better in person, the lip doesnt do it justice in pictures. Really makes the front more aggressive.

Looks lovely mate, watch out for speedbumps, I bet you were a bit hot and sweaty doing that yesterday

Mate i was dying in the heat!

Yes very paranoid about speed bumps, however ive been on a few already and climbed a curb, so far so good, i had enough clearance.

I do want to lower, but then i know i will be running into problems, I really want to close that gap though.

m5rosco · 06-26-2020, 05:09 PM

Looks great mate. Are the lower corner splitters underneath part of it, or could they be removed separately? Where did you order the splitter from?

Thank you mate.

They are separate, called extensions i believe.

I purchased on ebay but from a company called hz-dynamics.

That's my space gray M5 😊.

I picked mine up from RW Carbon, it came with predrilled holes which lined up with screws holding in the bumper. I just had to add larger washers and I did add some 3M tape all around just for that added security. I've seen splitters in the past come off in high speeds.

I had mine lowered, you'd definitely have to watch those drive ways, parking stops and speed bumps. I had the DINAN adjustable springs. Similar to KW

You can see my drop and clearance hopefully.

I drilled extra holes, even tho mine did line up, but i made additional holes for that security.

Doesn't hurt! I've been 170mph+ without any issues.

Your car looks stunning.

Yes, sold it a while back. Seems like it's still out there running strong for the new owner as I get alerts about it from carfax.

I'm running a BMW 750i now. Stage 1 tuned. They got nothing for these cars for mods.

Needed a car that could fit two rear facing car seats. Just turned one forward and got one more to go before I can get back into an M5.
