Unhappy

Want a one piece lip spoiler that fits UNDER existing UK98 bumper, but need to see it to check it will fit around my FMIC and hide pipes which go about 2" below std bumper before buying.

Suppliers are either mail order only or in a different country !
Anyone know where I could see one within about 150 miles of Cambridge ????!!!!!!! Have seen pictures - but as bits will have to be cut out, I need to have my grubby hands on one !

Checked links on SIDC and Snet shop, run out of ideas

Exclamation

Cheers, but
OH Noooooooooooooo !!!!
I'm trying to avoid all those fun filled hours of cutting/ checking/ trimming/ checking again - even though I could use mine as a template for the 99 and cut the time down to an hour or so , then get it resprayed to match....

Plan "A" - try the easy fix first !
(Though this does not seem to be too easy at the moment !!)

I removed the horizontal lip across the bottom centre of the bumper so now about 85% of the FMIC core is exposed, and may just leave it until I spot someone with a one piece 98, pre face lift lip spoiler that I can check out.

Thanks for the suggestion though P20. Do you have one for sale ???

Thanks for the info guys. Support/advice much appreciated.

Hi Scratch - you did indeed suggest MRO and I got round to contacting them about the time Dan was writing his post !!

Still hoping to get a one piece rather than go through the fun of cutting another bumper to fit then respraying costs.
