Mazdaspeed front lip spoiler
Anybody install one of these on their S5? It's pretty simple I figure, remove factory black lip and replace with Mazdaspeed lip?
Also are the bolts 6mm? I'm away from my car at the moment.

Ok got around to trying to install it and gave up after 2 hours.
The center holes line up but the outer ones don't .... I can get one side in but then there is a 1.5-2 inch gap on the other.
I started hearing cracking as I tried to force it in but it didn't work so I stopped for today.
Any tips ? I'm lipless now

Is this a stock or aftermarket front lip? If aftermarket where can I get one? I would be easy on fiberglass. is it possible to maybe space it so there is a even gap on both sides? Might be easier to get the sides to pull out to it if there is less of a gap? Love the lip though!

I ended up putting it on with the gap for now (which worked fine) because it is going to a paint shop soon as upon closer inspection the previous owner must have hit a racoon or something as the area is pushed up and needs some bodywork as it cannot be pulled by hand. It tweaked that corner a little.
when i made my lips i had the indent for the mounting holes. it worked on maybe 40% of the cars. thats why I suggest people just make their own holes
and as i said years ago- the area where the fender and bumper meets is easily manipulated by pulling or pushing. its pretty flimsy
the last fastener by the wheel liner I suggest you nut and bolt.
