Dry fit the lip and check the gap at both ends before the backing paper comes off, because a bumper that has been off the car before rarely sits square. Work above 15°C so the tape grabs. Tape holds the alignment, the screws hold the lip. Leave it 24 hours before a pressure washer or a motorway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOr bring it to us — we fit these in Portadown and warrant the fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it won't do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not aerodynamic.

The lip sits below the bumper; a scuff above it still shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not injection-moulded ABS. Vacuum-formed plastic is lighter and more forgiving on impact, but it is thinner, and it is not a structural part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Audi A3 8V Facelift front lip need painting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is supplied in gloss black and goes straight on the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you have to drill the bumper to fit a front lip?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe screws go into the plastic underside of the bumper, never into bodywork or paint, and they are hidden behind the lip once it is on. Tape alone will not survive a wet motorway, so both fixings are used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it survive speed bumps?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn a standard-height Audi A3 8V Facelift, yes.
