I really like the lip, I wanna do it to my cooper, but the cooper has a arch in the middle of the bumper that makes me worried it'll look like crap.

Thats an interesting idea with the lip. I may have to go visit my local HD and check out the garage door weather stripping.

I used double sided tape all the way under then used self taping screws with washers about 6 inches apart all the across. I cut the shape with a razor blade after it was completely attached...then just removed the scraps.

Hey guys, I got brave and did a rear lip with that garage door striping stuff since I did my front lip already.

I finally added the lip myself. The tape wasn't working on my end so I used plenty of screws and washers.

Front doesn't look to bad. Rear...might be a swing and a miss for me. Props for trying something different.

Not too sure whos that directed at, but I feel ya on the rear as well. Especially on a Clubman I dont think itll look as good.

These vehicles already create a significant parachute with the rear bumpers - adding to that effect is counterproductive.
