CS front lip destroyed

I hit something and it took a chuck clean out of my front lip and bent the mounting bracket so I have to replace the whole kit.

On the plus side it the bumper will mostly likely need resprayed so I can get rid of the rick chips and hopefully get them to fix a few door dings and re-clear my spoiler while they are at it.

What color CS? I've always been curious how easy the San Marino is to match on a front bumper respray if that happens to be the color you have.

You could protect it:

Lightweight Performance - ABS Front Lip Spoiler - BMW F8X M3/M4

Apologies, saw in the first post you were thinking of repainting the bumper and with all that work was advocating for a tougher lip solution. The CF seems to be the bane of several people's existence. Some have replaced multiple which is great if you can afford, this was an alternative.

Road debris sucks. Sorry to hear about the damage. Personally I’d go with an OEM replacement. It’s a CS after all, don’t cheap out
