Sorry to hijack the thread but could anyone tell me what my front lip is?

The reason I ask is that it's cracked and needs repairing, I've no idea if its standard or aftermarket?  :scared:

Looks like a genuine Edition 30 splitter to me

Cheers for the reply.  I'm not sure if it's genuine though it doesn't feel like the type of material that could be painted.  It feels quite rough  :confused:  Definitely looks ed30 style though now I've googled it!  :grin:

It's probably the standard one sanded and painted with the inner part left textured and black as the front lip is 2 pieces

Do they come as standard pretty "rough" and textured?  You think it would be possible to get it vinyled over?

The Ed30 front splitter is smooth and I don't think you can vinyl wrap a textured surface, needs to be smooth.

My Eddy's front splitter with vinyl wrapped centre.
