Slight bit of chafing....

I'm getting fed up of scraping my front bumper on speed bumps, uneven road surfaces and pretty much anything else that might be on the road thicker than a rizzla paper! The car has the m tec 2 body kit fitted.
Can you guys recommend any front lips that are good that will offer some form of protection?

Thanks in advance

If your bumper is already scraping, adding a lip to that will reduce ground clearance even more and probably just get ripped off.
The best thing to do would be to admit to yourself that you have lowered your car too much and raise it.
Failing that the best thing would probably be a custom metal skid attached to the bottom of the bumper.
My thoughts are that any plastic lip wont last anytime at all.

The car is only slightly lowered. I would like something sacrificial on the front to prevent any damage to the plastics. It's just for the odd moment I might encounter something. I can see there are plenty of after market bits, but would like to know what's best or recommended.

i cannot vouch for quality, you need ot do some research, but there is a guy selling replica Mtec 2 stuff on for sale thread. the plastic is supposedly more flexible, so maybe more forgiving. i would pm and ask.....mayke keep your best one for shows/etc and the plastic one for daily...

i have an alpina front spoiler....i feel your pain! :cry:
