ebay
scrap yards
zone members breaking for spares
If you are talking about the lower IS lip spoiler, I had to import one from Germany, as i couldn't find one in the UK (this was before joining the zone)
I think I paid Ԛ┚¬42 + p&p

I assume these are no longer made.
If there was any I assume they would be listed in BMW's computer database so if you go into any BMW garage they could tell you if any garage in the country had one in stock, is this correct???

Was this a new one or second-hand from ebay? I really want one of these too.

There's usually a chap selling them on Ebay. Not on there at the moment, but I've seen his auctions several times over the last month or so. He lists an IS front lip spoiler and also an ALPINA front lip spoiler. I think he produces them himself from moulds. He may even be a zoner!
The IS is Ԛ£39.99, and the ALPINA is Ԛ£49.99
Hope this helps.

They're fibreglass though!

I didn't know that they were fibreglass. Guess I should have read all the ad properly I suppose!
Cheaper to keep replacing when they get nicked though!

Or cracked!
Much better to find an official BMW one for sale on eBay UK I think......I've paid for one from the German eBay but not received it........in two months
Gotta go round to the guy's house I think

Call me odd, but I actually prefer the standard lip spoiler to the IS one!
When I bought my 318is, it came minus it's lip spoiler, like so many do. I will be putting a standard one on though. I just think they muck up the lines of the car as they protrude down much further than any other part of the car. Maybe if you have side skirts and something at the rear to match, then it's not so bad, but for me it's the standard one thanks.

I think you're right Ross, the iS lip looks out of place unless you're looking at the car front-on.
It does look good from that angle though

Your local BMW dealer should still have these or at least be able to order them cause they're still available in NA. This site <eap4parts.com> is the cheapest place in NA for OEM parts and has them for around 150 U$ if you're willing to ship over seas.

Is that a real one though Rob?
Or fibreglass
If it's plastic at that price I'd consider investing in one

BMW can get them. I have my brothers old one, but he got it from BMW earlier in the year. It was around Ԛ£90 then just over a hundred with VAT and clips.
These things are fking strong.Ive hit countless curbs and fences and even lose it and ripped the thing off a thing times whilst losing it in the wet and it just needs to be repainted, never loses shape or form
