The boss ripped the chin spoiler off the car and nearly cried when she found out it was going to cost $150 to buy a new one and 2nd hand was impossible to find.
A friend of mine suggested going to a Clark Rubber store, where I found this:

It is door/window moulding

at $40 for 2 metres - a bargain!

That is a nice idea. And it also protects and looks good in my opinion.
Even makes it a bit longer.
How many cm is it? And how many AUSSIE $?
Did you glue it on?

Bought 2 metres of the stuff only needed probably 1.5 cost AUD$40
All I had to do was slice the rubber from the area where the spoiler clipped into the original clips.
2 weeks later and its still there. I know its not OE but I'm really happy with the final result.

I drove around for 2 years missing one until Rigmaster felt pity for me and let me have a good used one for a good price. It's not the "is" lip spoiler, but it looks just fine on my car. Your resourcefulness is impressive.

Kyle, my wife drives the car!
An original iS spoiler would have cost lots of $$$ and she would have destroyed it within a week.
She managed to LOSE the first standard E30 spoiler.:(
If this one goes, I can get some more and whip her with it! :D

As an update: this has been on the car for 2 years now and have had no troubles with it falling off.
