CF Front Lip

Anyone know where I can buy a carbon fiber lip online? The car is an 06 C230. Do I have the AMG style bumper?

Thanks.

don't buy from euroteck's site directly. they and others on ebay only sell them for around $250-300. not the ridiculous rip off price on their site.

Thanks Frank. I just had some bad experiences with ebay from my old e46 that's why i just wanted to get inputs.

I try to stick when buying stuff with members or sponsors only. Like my clears man, bought 2 sets on ebay, had to send it back because of the quality. good thing i was refunded for everything. Finally got a good pair from stealthauto becuase of this forum.

Hey thanks again man.

Sorry for the threadjack RAY2493. Go get the lip as well!

I bought my CF lip off ebay for my W204 too. The fitment was better than my old Euroteck one for my W203 which scratched/fuked up my bumper and the previous lip owner's bumper during installation.

The Cf lip is one of the mods i think everyone is on the same page on... everyone with the amg bumper either has one or wants one..

a company should make a next design so we have options

have a friend to hold or use tape to hold the lip on to the bottom of your bumper
drill some holes into the non CF part of your lip and screw it into your bumper

W.e you do, make sure it sticks really good to your bumper. My first CF lip in my C230 got stolen, my second one fell off in the middle of the freaking highway, and finally the 3rd one is fine so far. But whatever you do, REMEMBER to make sure it really holds on to that bumper

i got seven screws with it, i think i will add three more just to make sure and use moulding tape for the rest of the area underneath it.

installed lip

Ok guys i couldnt wait so i had my friend help me install the lip. Fitment is perfect!

I used moulding tape and a total of 12 bolts so that i secure this sh$t in like a puppy with it's mama.


Here's a few quick shots from my blackberry. I will get better pics in the weekend after a nice carwash.

Thanks to James from jlmotoring for a good product, easy transaction and fast shipment.

I recommend the lip to everyone!
