228i Sportline front lip and rear diffuser

Does anyone know where I can find a 228i Sportline Front Lip? Also looking for a single exhaust rear diffuser. Thanks

They've got front lips for the sportline bumper on Ebay. I picked one up but haven't installed it yet. I'll post pics once its on. Here were the pics from the listing. Pardon the horrid watermarks.

I haven't seen any diffusers yet. But honestly without the bottom of the car being flat, I don't think a diffuser would be all that effective. I've thought about trying to fit an F30 diffuser, which would theoretically have similar mounting points but would be too wide and too long, or an E36 or E46 diffuser, which would be about the right width but would require custom fabrication to get it mounted.

EDIT. Does require m sport package bumpers for 228

Brit with http://www.bmwpartspros.com/
They are a vendor on here. Highly recommend. It’s OEM so fitment is perfect.

I have the AA on back order to sort out the tips extension.

Front lip is M Tech from Bimmerworld

That's the problem. Its really difficult, near impossible to fin something for non-M packages.

That spoiler in post #2 is on a non-Msport car; first I've seen for these.

I found someone on Instagram that has the lip I linked in Post #2 on her Sportline 228i. It looks sick and I'm so excited to put mine on soon because of it. Give her a follow for more pics. IG: F22reaper

Ebay front lip (carbon) and side skirts (gloss black). also making a first appearance: SSR Type-6 wheels 18x9+45 square, stock supersports stretched AF on the front.

Please excuse the crap phone-quality pictures, desperate need of a wash, and dreadful afternoon sunlight obscured by a pending storm.

Before I retrofitted the M Sport bumper ( i needed the brake cooling ) I was looking for this also and found this company that offers something for the non-m sport bumper:
