Default front lip

Is it necessary to get a front lip professionally installed or is it possible to do it yourself? If not what are some prices you have heard for such a job?



THanks

I have B6, and I was thinking of getting the ABT front lip. I am definetly going to get it professionally painted but as far as the install goes I would prefer to do it myself just to save a little cash if possible.

how skilled are you when it comes to cars?
ive never done this but honestly i cant imagine it being very hard. jack your car up
and fiddle around, see if you can see mounting bolts or clips. your best bet is to remove your OEM lip, this way if you feel its gonna be to hard, you can take it to get professionally installed, if its easy then do it your self. but seriously thats practically how i start all my projects, if you can take it off you can put it back on (huhuhuh sometimes)

I suggest that you remove the front bumper when replacing the front lip. You will have a much easier time. I broke my front lip on a parking stone or snow pile (it happened in the winter and I didn't notice until spring). It snaps into the bumper with a series of plastic clips that are molded into the front lip. Mine also had a screw in each end near the wheel wells but, they didn't look like they were stock. I think the previous owner put them in.
The lip is really easy to get on and off with the front bumper off the car.
