    Suggestions for a front lip spoiler..

    I seem to have missed out on the current carbon front lip spoiler GB. I am trying to find another avenue to get one. I can't find one that is available. Does anyone know who carries this item?

    Thanks,
    Christopher

    Your options are limited. I had searched for a LOOOOOONG time.
    There's this (SEAT Cupra Lip):

    I had that for a while and it held up pretty well.

    There is also:
    LLTek (sp?) side splitters (not my taste)
    Custom made canard-style (such as HeadShot's) (this requires a lot of skill and time)
    Garage-door style rubber trim strip- http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUDI-EZ-LIP-...fda43d&vxp=mtr

    Sorry. I may have misread your post. The above are other options for a front spoiler that (more or less) fits the RS6. If you specifically wanted that particular spoiler, Stephen's thread I believe gives the manufacturer in Japan. The original was made by Kohlenstoff(sp?) I think. Perhaps you could contact him directly.

    I have one of the Cupra spoilers that I won't be needing now, I'll sell it for $70 shipped. I don't know if they would do it, but you might contact ocarbon.com and see if they would wrap and epoxy it. Then you could have carbon look without the price, and probably a little better durability.

    That may be a possibility...

    I am over my head with upgrades right now. Give me a little time to do some research and I will see.

    Thanks

    I'd say that the Cupra R lip is very durable and forgiving as-is. Honestly, if I had mine made out of carbon or fiberglass, it definiely would have cracked while I was learning to live with it the first few weeks. The ABS plastic gives a lot and bounces right back. I was very pleased with how they've held up on our cars. Just something to keep in mind.

    What I meant was that the Cupra spoiler wrapped in carbon would be more durable than bare carbon spoilers coming from Japan. You would run the risk of damage from contact with curbs, entrances etc of course, but overall durability should be better.

    The spoiler in the pic that "Kilian tuning" posted is a Seat Cupra R lip, made of carbon fiber (not wrapped in).

    @ Smiler: Holy hell that thing looks good.......
