Front splitter options.

Has anyone got a front splitter on their car they can post a picture off. I'm trying to decide my style preference.
Cheers

Yes, I researched mine for a long time and I love mine it goes across the entire front and curls up at the ends and I used the double sided tape and it comes with screws and I got larger ones and screwed it into the base of my bumper and it makes a huge difference.

Here is a before and after. I like this splitter because it's a little more low profile.. feels like the needed something to fill in the gap and this fit perfectly. From ********

The splitter he has is often available as it is the one I'm trying to think of the brand but it's all put on by adhesive and it's the main one they first made for these cars that fills in the gap they are seemingly missing on our cars… just like the rear diffuser in the rear how it looks like it's missig the middle which is why my new one has all the fins in the middle

yes there is adhesive but I have two screws on the bottom of mine. Perfect fitment and it hasn't moved a centimeter since install. I actually just order a new one today (they're on sale) because my wife drove too close to a parking block while parking and cracked the existing one lol

If you do get a front lip, it's good insurance to get the Bimmertech front view camera. I have it, and I'd guess it's saved me a couple times already. I think the camera setup is less than the cost of replacing a lip or refinishing the bumper if you don't have a lip to sacrifice.

The camera sounds a good idea but it's. A minefield which ones to look at

Yes, anyone have the link or know the brand? I can't recall recall it… yeah I just think adding that front camera is excessive… I'd rather get Apple CarPlay upgrade!

I ordered the same one from RW Carbon some months ago and it arrived down under today looks great and a quick trial fit shows a perfect fitment.

Funny enough I ordered a second one because my first one got damaged by me and it came in today. Just installed the new one and I couldn't be happier!
