genuine or fake.

guessing fake.

take off front bar. line the lip on as much as you can on one side. get a lighter and burn the self tapping screws it came with till there glowing or almost glowing , then impact it throught the lip by screwing until it goes in a fair way then leave it, for about 20 seconds then continue screwing. you wanna melt it slightly throught he lip, otherwise these self tapping screws dont do to much through a ABS plastic lip

then lining up the second side is harder because the lips have got shit fit, you have to really stretch it then do the same trick.

hope it helps and no i dont have photos

You put on the lip...ull see on either side of ur front bar on/in the wheel arch there are 2 places meant for drilling screws for lips, drill there, put in screws, ur done! (remember to allign the lip properly before drilling!)

many threads have covered lip installs, search button is your friend.

mine is fake, and thats how i did it. I had a frend hold the lip in place while i drilled from the inside of the front bar, a tiny hole so i knew where the holes wer on the front bar. THEN form the outside i drilled in the screws in the points i marked with the small holes

ohh true true, nice nice. i was by myself when i did mine and didnt wanna drill while holding.

i used a screw driver and a lighter.

the lip his talking about isnt really long enough, you have to make it fit.

EDIT: in that photo is the lip fitting like that on the other side ?

definantly 2 people operation... i lined it up, stretched it was much as i could... used a drill bit to drill small holes in the lip for my screws, then screwed some self tapering screws straight into the bumper... fakes don't fit too well obviously... "good from far, far from good"... lol
