F30 M Performance front splitter users.. help

Guys with M Performance Splitter and with either low spring (H&R) or coilovers, do u guys find it too low?

On 19" wheels. Will u scrape ur splitter a lot?
I'm intending to get the splitter installed but i'm afraid that it might be too low to enter those multi storey parking.

Users, pls comments.
Thanks in advance.

I have a 2013 Xdrive M sport that I added the M splitter and then dropped the car using H&R Sport springs for the XDrive. It's pretty low. When getting out of my very normal driveway it scrapes slightly. Leaving most parking lots is fine but I am always careful. Not sure what will happen in the snow during winter months. Let me see if I can get a picture for you

As you can see it's pretty low but if you're careful you'll be alright and I noticed you're somewhere where it never snows so go for it!!

did you get your splitter painted MG? its hard to tell. I've also got a MG but i'm having a really hard time deciding between color matching, painting it gloss black or leaving it matte..

I had them paint the splitter parts mineral grey and left the bottom lip matte. Looks amazing. I could also have left the splitters matte but I find the painted look is nicer. Definitely don't paint it all. Looks boring all one color.

Yes, it doesn't snow here in SG.
But most of our parking are multi-story parking. And normal the entrance or the exit will have some hump that will damage ur ride if it's too low.

I installed mine yesterday and I scrapped part of it in the same day (ouch). My car is not lowered, but the road here are pretty uneven.
