New CF lip for brabus apron:)
Itś very snowy winter back here and I got bored during chrystmas ...as there is nothing cool for our cars front ends, so id try to make something.
Made myself new carbon fiber add-on lip. I think it looks awesome..cant wait for spring to put summer wheels on.
Its not attached properly jet, just threw in for taking pics
Thinking of making one cool cf trunk lip as well.

very innovative
I really like it a lot
what did you use as a base piece before you wrapped in CF?
Is it a trunk spoiler from another car that you figured out works and fits well for what you wanted to do?

Its completley new part. first i took a mould with fiberglass from the apron and then built a shape on it. After the part was ready in fiberglass, foam etc.. i made another mould of it and then layed 2 layers of CF into it and the new lip was borned.
It brings front lip out aprox 2 cm, and lowers aprox 1 cm. It would look dope on white car..wish i had a white one.
Sorry for phone pics, they really dont do justice to actual part, irl looks a lot nicer and darker. I got the overall idea from vörsteiner lip(for e-class). Saw similar also on BMW-s and Porsches.
If I got the time I may make some cool trunk spoiler also, in CF. I like the evosport trunk lip for w209. Something similar would be nice.

Front lip looks good. Want to create a trunk spoiler when I have some extra time just been so busy lately. I was thinking something that came off the trunk some but not as big as the evosport one. Keep us posted if you get that thing in the works

Yeah i think also that the evosport is a bit too big , a bit lower would be nicer.

Trunk lip
Finally its done. Not attached properly jet, in spring i think. Fits perfectly.
Made from fiberglass, wrapped in CF and painted. CF didnt work so well on trunk.
If someone wants one maybe I can make some.. in CF or fiberglass.

Front carbon is gone, got tired of it- im over this CF thing..
Rear lip is also gone. I made new, bit more agressive, looks a lot better.
If more than 3 ppl want one im considering of making them for sale. I have the mould for it.
Can make them from carbon fiber(1x1 or 2x2) or fiberglass.
Currently I have fiberglass one which is painted to match body color.
If i got time i will post pics of new trunk lip here.

It had little different design than the first one.
It was made of more expencive 1x1 carbon fiber fabric.
Unfortunately it was only a prototype and I never made a mould from that.
And I did throw it away as all the other bits.
It was attached with heavy-duty 3M double-sided tape and few screws extra from underneath.
Sorry but I dont make it anymore.
