Hi all
anyone ordered a 991 GT3 chin lip spoiler from an OPC ?
What's the going rate ?
Assuming that they are pretty simple to fit - going on past 996/997 experience !
scraped mine pretty badly yesterday
Unless its hanging off the car, I wouldn't bother replacing it. It will only get scraped again. anyone ordered a 991 GT3 chin lip spoiler from an OPC ?

I scrape mine all the time, going up driveways, bottoming out on country roads, speed humps in Switzerland etc etc
Have thought many times about replacing it but then I think it will only get knackered again!
Sorry......not being much help am I?

no, not really 
!
actually managed to bend it right back - small kerb hidden in a grass verge.
its scuffed badly on the top right under the centre grill, about 18" in width
scuffs underneath dont bother me but this looks rough !

Have you tried some Armor all Back to black on it? It might make it a little more presentable while you wait for the replacement to arrive.

OPC told me £150 fitted. Apparently it is treated as a consumable. When I had Astons the chin spoiler on a V8S was made in CF. Cost £4000 Plus VAT plus fitting!!! 
Aston Martin dealers are knob heads! 
......well the one I went to is..... I walked in and tried to open the door to a V12 Vantage and the s
t face salesman shouted over the showroom "PLEASE DON'T TOUCH THE CARS THANK YOU!!!" He then rolled his eyes at the receptionist and smiled weakly at the customers he was dealing with.v8ksn said:

Kul that is typical. It's not just Aston dealers. I had a horrendous experience with a Jaguar Dealership.

Yep! Sticking with my 911 for the foreseeable future Rob, this was a while back when I was interested in getting a V12 Vantage. Anyway what are you doing looking at Astons? Take it from me stick with Porsche.
Still love the look of the V12 but don't like the build quality and running costs or the dealers!
Are you up for doing Wales in October?

Correct answer Kul, my last Aston, 27 faults in 8 months that's not counting the continued unresolved modification faults. Regarding Scotland, we will have just returned from a hoon in darkest Scotland so it's unlikely though not impossible. My car will have done 8,500 miles by then.

8500 miles!?! Good man! 
Spanking it like you should be doing! ......... (and the car) 
Catch up soon buddy
and that is exactly why I've stayed away from Astons !
I got brave last night, and attached the lip with varying grades of wet & dry
its by no means perfect, but from standing over it, you can't see the marks now.
I was quite surprised at the results personally.
bunged on some trim sealant and job done !

If you are relatively happy with your existing spoiler I would suggest you store the new one away somewhere and use the existing one as a sacrificial lamb while you figure out which speed bumps/ car parks / driveways you need to be extra careful on when you put your new spoiler on.
