My new EURO Sepang Bronze ///M coupé

[Philly_sweden]

Today was the day when the bumper cover was going back on the car! (I thought)

Picked up my new freshly painted bumper!

Better then new!



Not to the boring part!
Worst construction I have ever seen! (not my picture/car) but it looked the same.



LOL BMW? Brake the part to remove it?




What it SHOULD look like!



The result after the fine instructions from BMW




Not my day today have to order new clips!

So wait, I can't pull my bumper off without destroying a clip on purpose? Wow.

Yes you can, but the problem is that it's very Easy to break these when you remove your bumper.

The funny thing is that you really have to destroy these to remove them if they're broken. They should have been attached to the bolt like on the M3's :/

Finally!





Removed the plate-holder and put the new plate on using tejp!

i need to buy 2 new front bumper to fender clips too, mine are looking rather sad for themselves after numerous bumper removals and are starting to sag and rip a little , how easy were they to install?? once the bumper is off do they simply slot into the fender??

when you remove the old ones you have to break them in small pieces to get them of.

The new ones just clicks in smooth as silk

Be careful when you remove the old ones so that you don't bent the holes where it's attached.

Yeah. Long nose pliers, take some fabric on it so that you won't scratch your fender.

The new clips have a new design and are of better quality. They are crazy expensive as well
