I am sure you are aware, but you are also going to have to replace the splash shields (at least one side I saw for sure) before doing the new bumper....

Re: The official front splitter thread
Anyway, a year later I decided to go for it again. The price at OEM Plus had gone up but it was once again on back order. So I Googled the part number and found a bunch of places selling it, including a VW tuner place in SoCal with a dodgy looking website. I contact them because they were showing a price of $75 (!) for it. The response I got back was "yep, we have one left - just one". I went and picked it up then followed H82BL8's instructions for installation. I love it, and it nicely matches the black diffusers on the back of the car.
Yes, I know, I've never posted pictures of it, but I plan on it. I just painted my engine cover over the weekend so I'll get both up soon.

I have really loved the one off pieces I have been putting on the car recently, seeing all the same accessories on the XF year after year makes me want to stay away. But I definitely WOULD buy a startech front lip LOL
Re: The official front splitter thread
just a thought...we have members in Germany right now. If they just aren't importing them and they are still made or in stock in Germany, why not have someone look for you, and buy and ship it to you....I would think startech would have these somewhere in Europe...as for MikeinOrange's lip, I even like that one...
