Hey guys!
I dont know if this has been covered but for anyone who is interested I fitted the Ford Performance ST lip to my 20 Plate ST Line X which only took 10 minutes.
It’s meant to be fitted with pop rivets however I installed it with panel trim clips instead incase I ever wanted to remove it. These can be purchased anywhere from Amazon, eBay or Halfords.
Great little mod which is very easy to do. You do need to drill 17x 8/8.5mm holes in the under side of the bumper to allow for the fixings. (These holes won’t be seen if you ever decide to remove it)
Iv listed the part numbers below with the ford diagram.
Part numbers;
Lip - 17D957B
Pop rivets - HM2
Ford Performance ST lip retro fit - DONE!
Well done Mattcrx - Cracking article and very informative, (I like pictures)

I’ve been trying to source an ST bumper lip using the various Finis code and part numbers listed in a couple of the forum’s posts. I’ve got absolutely nowhere and am out of ideas as to how to get good part numbers that will allow me to order the part. Any help in obtaining the correct info would be gratefully received!

Trouble is if you can't quote an actual ST at the parts dept then they will struggle to find a suitable Fin number for you. I suggest you pick an ST (maybe a used one sitting at a dealership or even a mates car) and one around the same year as yours. Take note of the registration plate and ask your dealership for a replacement front lower spoiler for that car. Then wait an see what he finds.
Problem with Fin numbers they have a tendency to change year on year when and if the part is revised in some way be it very minor. I guarantee they will find the part your looking for using this method.

How do you got a hold on an st lip?
Been searching the webs and ford sites but no luck. Cant we just go to a certified seller and request the part?
Also is there anything more holding in place the lip other than the ribets? Like M3 adhesive?
But nevertheless there are some after market lips available for the puma, not so stylish but maybe will do the mechanical effect rite xD

It is a front lower spoiler. Not an ST lip. Lets get the terminology correct please.
All you have to do is phone the ford parts either with a reg of an ST making sure that car had the lip installed and explain what part you want (I have supplied the part number in the drawing)Rays1 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 3:07 pm Trouble is if you can't quote an actual ST at the parts dept then they will struggle to find a suitable Fin number for you.

Each to their own. There is no “correct” terminology some people call it a lip or a splitter some people call it a spoiler. In my opinion an actual spoiler raises the downward force on the back of the car increasing both traction and braking ability. where as a front lip/splitter in this instance is just for aesthetics.Rays1 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 11:11 pmRead my post below... that's how.indigorider wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 7:15 pm How do you got a hold on an st lip?
