Maxton Lip Fitted

Lukeuk · 02-26-2020, 07:13 AM

Well fitted mine today and after about an hour with a mate it was done. Pretty easy to be honest, although using the same method as Donny_1962 I am driving around a little carefully!

Makes such a difference to the look, much sportier and how it should of looked out of the box..

Lots of 3m tape and even more self tapping screws, although I might just add 4 monkey/jack nuts to just give it that extra strength.

Looks great! I've been waiting to see one on black. Now I need one too.

Did you paint your mirror caps and boomerangs or did you go with IND?

I contacted them about a group buy, shipping to the US. Discount was minimal, and since shipping time is a month-ish I went ahead and already purchased mine. The shipping cost more than the lip but OH WELL.

Thanks for the photos, you could put some more photo, in front and another one of how it is on the side, a greeting

Thanks, very happy with how it looks on black. Mine has the shadow line package so everything black from factory. If that's what you meant by IND, sorry not sure what that means.

Excuse the state of my drive, in the middle of having a new car port put in and the old horse stable removed.

I don't think there's a shadowline option for the M40i in the US. At least there wasn't when I got mine. And the only option was to either paint/wrap your cerium parts, or buy black replacements from IND Industries. Ridiculous since the black bits are available in the UK and on the M sport in the US.

Looking great Luke,

Problem being, now everyone has seen how good they look for the small outlay (excusing our US cousins) is that they will become common as muck.

Honestly my friend thank you for all your help with this, it really is appreciated. I honestly can't believe how much better it looks for such a small outlay.

Trying to prepare for mounting mine when it arrives. Is the placement (forward/rear) given or do you have to find out where it looks best? If you understand what I mean.... ie how much it extends forward related to the original bumper.

Hard to explain until you have in hand and offer it up to the car. You will clearly see where it goes. One useful tip though is make sure the ends of the splitter are flush with the bumper round by the tyres, if you know what I mean. If one side is slightly over hanging then you know it's not correct. The splitter is moulded perfectly to the bumper so hard to get it wrong.

Thanks. That takes a lot of my anxiety away. 🤪

I go to the time of putting pics up and hiding my plate, and you try to guess it, wrongly may I add, but not the point. Dick Lovett btw.

Is your car carbon black? Mine is arriving next week so thanks for uploading pics of it....

Lukeuk · 02-27-2020, 04:08 AM

Mine is Sapphire black.

Blacktemplar · 02-27-2020, 06:47 AM

Looks brilliant - perfect with the SBM and Shadowline

Sorely tempted - along with the rear spoiler, though it's a PCP car so not sure how mods like these would play?

Would love to see this setup on a Sophisto Grey G01.....

I don't think anyone on this forum would do something malicious with the plate, but if you're going to censor, do it well people.
