I really had to see a picture of the splitter on the car before a buy it. The other parts don't catch my interest. It all looks good though!

I really like the one on top of the window, which one is that?

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....

Do you remember all the issues with putting the cf hood in the group buy section... pay the money, no responce, weeks go by... and when it does go in there it gets wiped out.

I would not put it in the either

That's my car, you can't buy any of those spoilers any more. Those are Brabus/Startech factory options no longer made. I got the last one available in the US in 2006. I love it.

That looks like the Seat Cupra R lip spoiler that H82BL8 turned us all onto at https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...-phat-lip.html I had one on order from oemplus.com as they're just down the road from me, but after 3 months on back order I gave up and asked for a refund (yeah, they charged my card as soon as I ordered ).

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.

That's like having the last bottle of water in the desert, and you pour it over your head while a bunch of thirsty onlookers watch in agony...

Come on, John. I know you are just like me, no need to beg for water, just figure out how to make your own beer

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

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...
