The front lip on this E21:
Where could I get one?
Would the ones usually fitted to Mk1 Golfs be suitable?

Hmmm I'm not sure, I've seen E21's with a lip added to the existing valance.

Ahhhh maybe that's where I was getting confused?!
Mine doesn't appear to have anything? There is a "stonechip" section that could be painted black, but I think it would look odd.
Has anyone added a lip to a prefacelift then?

I tried a MK1 Escort alloy one on my old car a few years back but dimension/angle wasn't ideal. A Golf one might do the trick?
Suck it and see.

golf mk1/2 has a duckbill spoiler that might work.

Yeah, that's the one I'm thinking of using.
Cheap enough to buy, so it won't be too bad if it doesn't work.

I was hoping someone would try the golf duckbill lip on an e21 sometime. I wanna see what it looks like.
There's another idea for a front lip here too:

It's the older style front valance with extra lip welded on.
