RBS Front Lips

Hello everyone my name is Garrett and I am working with a company a friend owns called RBS. RBS makes various cosmetic parts for subarus only currently but I am working on expanding out to other auto makers.

The reason I am here posting is to see if perhaps there is any interest in a production of a front lip for the 1 series BMW's. I know the 135's aren't here yet but if we have enough hype for the front lips I would gladly meet up with someone and prototype a lip for production.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Basically we try to take a dealer overpriced part and make it cheaper for those that really want the look but can't afford the cost from a dealer.

Here is some of our work. Note the first pic also has a RBS Grill installed.

Here is a shot of the Grill

Here is the RBS rear Lip spoiler

could you make a replica of the factory tii body Kit. I'm sure there would be lots of interest in a quality reasonably priced tii body kitt including my self.

I will see about that. We weren't trying to make full on bumpers though because the cost of molding/production on those is much more then just lips etc...


I figured one of the most popular things you guys would want is a rear deck lid spoiler.

Nobody here is interested in the development of any of these type of products for the US market.

They are made of Fiberglass but we can do Carbon Fiber if there is enough demand for it.

Once the 135's are released I'll just need to get ahold of someone for some prototyping.

I'm thinking of trying something sort of like this front lip for the Legacy's K2 Gear front bumper.


Let me know what you guys think.

The rear deck lid spoiler will probably be just like the Tii one.

I think something along those lines might look attractive on the 1'er. Maybe some of the PS Gurus will do some chopping.

I'm not sure how a lip spoiler would look on this car. It almost already has one built into the curvature of the trunk.

well that K2 Gear front bumper for the Legacy's is a BMW M5 style'd front bumper.

I posted that image because I figured it might give some idea's between a curved lip or a straight lip like the first images I posted.

Anyways guys lets get a list going for who's interested and start pulling some idea's together on what style you would like.

I need atleast 15 people or so to even think about starting production on any product.


Add your name to the list if you are interested and please put what you are interested in possibly

Example: 1. Garrett (Front Lip Spoiler, Rear Deck Lid Spoiler)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Will you make the front spoiler to fit the standard bumper or the sport bumper? If you are going to make one for the standard one, I'm definately interested. Keep me posted!

This is the standard front bumper (can be found on 128i)



If you can make a full spoiler for that I'd be interested! :w00t:

I'd be interested in a front lip, especially in the style of what you posted. I'd have to reserve judgement on a rear lip spoiler until I see photos.

We could make stuff for the 128 bumpers aswell. Again we just need enough interest on the product to produce it.

Your chop shows a complete bumper. We do lips so it wont seem so seemless as your chop shows.

I'll see what I can do in PS to post up some samples.

a lot of people like eyelids because it finishes off a bodyline that sort of just ends at the headlights on most cars.
