No pictures sorry, since I installed mine ages ago

Stuff Needed:
1. 2 self tapping screws from Bunnings?
2. 3M double-sided Automotive tape
3. Clean wipe

Steps:
1. Attach a length of 3M double-sided automotive tape onto the latch part of your C-Lip which attaches to the part in front of your grill.

2. Wash the front area of your grill where you're mounting
3. Dry
4. Wipe down the ledge with your clean wipe

5. Test fit the lip by lining it up ensuring that it rests well on the latch
6. Now open up the tape and then ensure it tapes down on the latch

7. Now with the lip placed correctly, using an electric screw driver, drill in your self tapping screw carefully, making sure you do a little bit on each side each time. Alternate back and forth, checking that your alignment doesn't move.

I got my C-lip from ofey yesterday, i tried fitting it and needed to sand it down like you guys said... I've been using different files and stuff, doesn't seem to have to much effect...

i'm not really sure what you guys mean by sanding the "back". which part are you guys referring to?

also where could i get the 3M automotive tape? bunnings or something like autobarn?

thanks for help guys

What I had to sand down mate was the back of the lip to make it fit the shape of by bumper and airdams. Mostly I had to grind where the lip is its thickest in you picture i.e. where the lip curls under the bumper. In terms of tape yeah any car place or bunnings should have it, just strong double sided tape some times called automotive tape.

I'm looking at ordering that same lip sometime in the near future, what are the shipping times and prices like from VOX motorsports, or would I be able to source it locally.

Marc, probably best to source it thru Ofey.
He may be able to get a good price for you.
I do have the guys email in Sing if u want it. PM me.

Guys I just used 4 self tapping flat headed screws to mount mine. 2 underneath in the holes drilled in the lip and 2 on top near the ends of the top lip that goes over the top of the spoiler at the bottom of the grill area. Sprayed em over with Black plastidip to conceal their colour.

Thanks for the Offer, I might just shoot him a PM when I have the cash handy.

Are the screw holes already marked on the lip, or do you just need to pretty much drill where you think it's necessary?
