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
Read my post below... that's how.
It is a front lower spoiler. Not an ST lip. Lets get the terminology correct please.
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.
Ford's actual description - Initial release dated 24th September 2020. I quote "A Ford Performance-embossed splitter is integrated into the front bumper to increase front end downforce by almost 80 per cent for greater stability and traction. The large rear roof spoiler
also supports optimised aerodynamics, with a distinctive diffuser incorporated into the rear
bumper. Signature ST upper and lower grilles are designed to deliver increased engine cooling
capability."

So it’s a splitter then not a spoiler
Yes spot on..I stand corrected. I am a private pilot so I should know what a spoiler is...LOL.
Of course you should, it's when someone tells you the end of the film before you watch it....

Following advice from the posts that suggested providing the local Ford dealer with an ST registration number (plenty available on uTube reviews), I’ve now got a lip arriving tomorrow (£169). Thanks to all, especially Mattcrx for the info.
For Mattcrx - just offered up the splitter to the car for a first look. Presumably yours had 5 locating studs along the rear edge of the splitter. These either need cutting off or holes drilled in the bumper to accommodate them to enable the splitter to sit flat on the bumper. As they only help to locate the splitter and offer no means of adding strength, I’m in favour of cutting them off. You never mentioned this in your post, so what did you do?

Correct! Easiest way is to cut them off as in reality they are not needed however I did drill holes to locate them
