Thanks! The final product will be offered in fiberglass or carbon fiber, sorry we won't be making it in plastic.

As for shipping, it will likely be pretty expensive. I can't really give an accurate quote now but I'd expect it would be around $300-$500 for shipping to the UK.

Hi everyone, I'm the person who has been working with Nikki on the Mstache front lip for the past ~2.5 months.

To give everyone a long overdue update, the mould has been created and the first lip has been made.

I'm already in the process of making more and we'll be taking orders by the end of March. The first batch will be the fiberglass version followed shortly by the carbon fiber one.

Please excuse the fuzzy pics. I'll post more soon.

Fiberglass version costs $390. Cost of the carbon fiber version will be determined after I select my C/F source but I'm aiming to keep it under $500.

I'll have to determine shipping. It's long but only weighs a few pounds so hopefully shipping won't cost much. I'll check with my Fedex account.

Thank you very much.

It's not a 2002 (although I certainly want one later in life.) The car is my 1973 Mini project.

The center section makes it look thick but the lip is only ~5/8" lower (at its lowest point) than the stock bumper. We had in mind of those who daily drive their cars and didn't design one that was too low or overly outrageous to live with everyday.

Done, you'll be the first in the UK to have one when more are ready. Thanks.

Fiberglass $390, Carbon fiber (under $500, exact amount TBD soon). Local pick-up is available. I thank you for not making me wrap it, box it and mail it .

I wonder how well this will do with rubbing, there's a few places I go to that if I don't go sideways and very slowly the front rubs.

Pretty sure I'm in for a fiberglass one, but I'd like to see more mounted pics. Some clear, full car shots from side and front would be great.

5/8" lower is bad/thick enough for ANY lowered, AND even stock Z4M to easily mess it up going over bumps or coming out of a parking lot onto the main roads (where there's usually a slight dip for the drain purposes).

I have the RPI skid plates that are essentially only 2mm~3mm thick, and after a couple of months they were already badly scraped.

Of course you can say your lip is designed for a stock Z4M. But my question is - why limit your own market? It simply doesn't need to be that thick. What I'm saying is even a stock Z4M is gonna have scraping issues with that lip.
