Lightbulb group buy for 2019+ Facelift C43 Front Lip from Europe

UPDATE: 7/26/2020, Group Buy FULL

UPDATE: 7/27/2020, those of you that are on the list, please email me your Full Name, paypal email address/Home Address to: Oregonmedicalllc@gmail.com (3 L's) and I will send the amount for the first payment. Remember this is from Europe and will take a few weeks to get to me. I will post shipping confirmation on this forum page. Once I collect payments, I will update the list on who made the payments. Once I collect them all, I will place my order and update you using this post.

UPDATE: 7/28/2020, **** it we're doing it live, if you still want in on the group buy message or email me the above info. I'll be closing the order on 7/29/2020 to start the process.


UPDATE: 7/30/2020, received funds for the last persons invoice, now waiting for the company to respond back with lead times/payments etc. I will keep updating this page with new information. Thanks everyone for making this happen!!

UPDATE: 7/31/2020, funds sent, manufacture lead time is 3 to 4 weeks with them. Once shipping label is created by them I will have tracking info here. I have sourced the custom boxes to be shipped out in and got a really good price by a local box company, only question mark is the cost to ship to Canada from here.

UPDATE: 8/3/2020, product in official queue for production (seems like these guys don't hold stock, and they order them as they come). Once they ship them out to the US, I will get an update. Thank you all for your patience.


UPDATE: 8/12/2020, custom shipping boxes/bubble wraps and packing material acquired. Should be getting updates from the manufacturer soon.. Thanks all for your patience!

UPDATE: 8/18/2020, Vendor received the product, they will be shipping it out on Thursday or Friday to my house from Europe. Once I get tracking info, I'll update the ETA.


UPDATE: 8/21/2020, shipped from Europe!! ETA to my home is 8/25/2020. I'll be packing it and shipping it most likely 8/26/2020 most likely.

UPDATE 8/27/2020, Everything arrived today, packed it up and will be shipping it out to everyone tomorrow! I sent an email to everyone that I will be sending a paypal invoice individually and add $15 for the custom boxes I made + void papers etc. Can't wait to install mine!!


So I'm sure some of you have seen the Race Design front lip when searching for the face lift lip options, with that mean looking satin black C43 online.


I personally think they look subtle but a hint of aggressiveness, and very reasonably priced. The problem is shipping from Europe, and it ends up bumping up the price quite a bit because of it. So far we have questionable Ebay lips, and one off expensive lips. I consider front lips as consumables due to it eventually scraping/cracking etc.






Because I'm not here to do massive amount of logistics for everyone, I'm only doing front lips from them, although they make side skirts/rear spats/diffuser upgrade.
I've already negotiated with the company and got some good savings out of it, especially the shipping. Disclaimer: I am not profiting off this, other than saving my own lip's shipping cost.
Here's how its gonna work:

8 total lips (one is mine) so 7 slots left for the lip.
It'll be about ~$200 per person to get the lip over here to the states to my address.
All Hardware Included (not sure if instructions will be in English or not)
I have a friend that works at FedEx so trying to score cheap ground shipping to send it off to everyone else. With the online UPS calculator, and just assuming the box will be like 70 x 12 x 12, 20lbs, it was about ~$60 to ~$80.
I'll need to source a box like a ski shipping box, and some bubble wrap/styrofoam stuff, luckily I have a shipping box/carton factory store near my condo that I can probably source for cheap.
So in total, I'm going to assume it'll be ~$300 for the lip to be delivered to your house.
again, not trying to profit here, wanting to help out the community.

Please post here or message me if you are interested, and I will update the list here of people committing to this group buy.

Its fun and I hope this is gonna be a decent quality lip. Group buy closed, everyone has paid, and I'm going back and forth with the company. The time difference sucks with Poland since its literally the exact opposite with us. 11PM here is 8am there..
I did source a box for a very good price locally so that should help more with the total cost. What hurt the most so far was the paypal fee's on every deposits I was getting, so I'll put that in the next invoice, I at least want to break even here and not lose money boxing **** up with a pissy wife lol.

Sorry man, order has been initiated, but I am planning on bringing more front lips to the states if the people from the first round is satisfied with it. We're sort of a guinea pig, but stay tuned!! I'll be updating the op as we progress this process.
