Pleased you have asked this, as they also do a front one and i have been wondering the very same thing.

I believe Shadrack had a front one on his car...which I think he's now sold

i also had this, please be aware you have to fibre glass/ filler the end caps to fit the lip so if your paying a body shop this will cost, if you can do it yourself as i did then great!

p.s. he knocks money off the price so haggle!

How much of a faff was your front piece to fit seeing as the standard facelift doesn't obviously seem to be compatible?

Was there a lip where the upper edge of the spoiler stopped?

front was in one piece, easy to fit, there was a 3mm lip? barely noticeable however the location and the fibreglass does chip, genuine ones can be located i often get them for £300 for complete front bumper

Thanks for that

How's this?

Too dear but OEM and with the correct wheel arch extensions. Save a search and you'll get one. That's how I did it.

Not a bad price eally (worth making an offer). Does state though the arch extensions are not included, which is a bit crap.

TBH think they really should not be doing that as it is quite deceiving at first glance.
