Hamann front lip

[midlandtech]

Hey guys I know there is a front lip thread already but I was wondering if anyone has installed a hamann front lip on a ZHP. I have been racking my brain on how I am gonna install mine when I get it in a couple days I have seen where people are drilling the lip and bumper and using 1/4 inch x 2.5 inch bolts to bolt it in place... Is this correct?

is there a how to for front bumper removal?

Remove two torx bolts, remove 6 other screws, remove front wheel well splash guard, remove under engine plastic guard. It should come off then.

Don't forget to disconnect wires for horns (2), fog lights (2), thermometer for outside temp.

Is it that easy? Now I'm tempted to get my front bumper repainted.

[das boots]

Yes...it is that easy. Would require two people to pull out and put back in the bumper. I would also love to have my bumper re-painted and get rid of the pits and battle scars if I have the funds.

Just got the hamann lip now need a friend with some free time to put it on

This is beautiful! I especially love the CF lip matched with the black grills and black roundel. I autocross mine, if I didn't, I would be adding this lip. Unfortunately for me it looks like a "cone catcher"

[midlandtech]

Thank you I have been being careful to pay attention to my clearance until I get a good feel for just how low the car's front is now I really like how it looks

that looks so hot... I might have to look into getting one (@ALBERT - apparently you don't need the coupe/vert bumper to make it fit like we debated in the other thread)

I don't think so, you probably just have to adjust your corners slightly. Have you had a video taken of you running a lap? I doubt you come that close to the cones anyways. We run a 1 sec/cone penalty but I've never seen anybody hit more than 2-3. Just run some warm up laps to get a feel for it and I think you'll be fine; some added downforce up front might even help your time to balance out any possible penalty time

That lip looks so damn hot, its like if Regina Franco was to be molded into a car, this is what she would look like. So freakin awesome!

@ JP - yeah I suppose we both had that one coming to us lol no worries though. i like the little poke out that it has on the outsides. Definitely interested in getting one now!

+1, I like it better w/o the lids. Looks great!

[tripod06]

no eye lids is a much better look IMO. Damn that lip gets better looking each time i scroll to see that picture!

[midlandtech]

I don't know if I am just more conscious of it or what but the car gets more looks with the lip... I think it looks more aggressive

Naw brudah, its actually the driver that gets all the looks. the car is just adding to you :) haha

no but really that lip does bring more looks. it does look more aggressive!

[danewilson77]

That's not a "Lip"

That's a "lower bumper skid plate"

:shifty

Looks bad ass!!! Eyelids are teh ghey...you should burn them and pray that the BMW gods don't smite you down ;)

[tripod06]

god seeing this with a drop now would look soooooooooooo much hotter. it would be like a hot model crawling towards you with those eyes that tell you, "hey you, i'm coming for you..." ahhhhhh :drool

[midlandtech]

lol any lower and you would need something to raise and lower the front end to go over bumps

[johnrando]

Like this? :biggrin

haha ya I supposed that would work but I would be worried that my car wouldn't handle as its supposed to any more

[danewilson77]

So dope.

[tripod06]

you can go lower. just angle at every drive way and speed bump. i would. sometimes i look at my car and think, "yeah it needs to be lower" haha

You look at your car and think about lots of mod ideas... You need to start doing some of them

[tripod06]

yeah you're right JP. first things first. my birthday lol
