Purchased an Hamann Rep MTech Front Lip from an members here, but I have no clue to to install this thing. There's no holes or anything nor hardware, anybody have this lip and know how to install this? Fitment seems good when i test fitted it.

I drilled holes through the new front lip and also through the underside of the existing bumper and bolted it in place. I believe I used either 6 or 8 bolts, 3 or 4 on each side and used washers that were at least an inch in diameter. You will have to pull back the inside of the wheel well and remove the shielding on the underside of the car to get your hands inside the stock bumper in order to do this. It's made easier by using the center lift point and putting the car on jack stands. My lip was carbon fiber so I just mounted it, but you may want to test mount it first, then have it painted, then final mount - at least that's what I would do.

No problem. Invest as little as possible in it, they tend to get pretty messed up. Even with the stock sports suspension I scrape my front lip everywhere.

In that case, maybe i wont install it. Not worth ripping my front bumper off just for this lip. Like the other member stated, maybe just for shows, or nice cruises. I will just pre-dill everything for quick installation.
