Front bumper drooping/Wheel well Rivets
Ever since I installed wider tires and lowered my MCoupe, I rubbed away the one of the front wheel rivets. Now my front bumper is starting to seperate from the fender.
Any creative ideas how to re-attach? I could replace the rivet, but it will just rub again. |

Umm, don't those just hold the plastic wheel well to the bumper? The bumper is held up by the screws under the hood and the clips by the headlight. With some support underneath.

I've had rubbing issues with my front's for years...
I ran a 19 x 8.5 + 32 (e46 m3 offset?) volks te37's + the current HRE's and ran a 255/35/19 tire for both. My fender self tapping screws have been worn down completely and replaced, and the bumper clip (that self destructs by the way each time you take it off for 50$) popped off twice from the car turning lock to lock or on a bump. My issue is that some parts of the wheel well simply just rubs once lowered, its not the very top of the arch, but closer to a 40,45 degrees where the tire rubs off the wheel well. Camber/Toe COULD solve this issue, but I'm thinking of going a bit higher.

Btw, the black clip isn't always destroyed if you use a weeder to gain access to those pesky upper front snaps of the black clip. Just stick the weeder in between the fender and the upper part of the clip and twist counter clockwise as you're pulling down on the black clip. Those pesky snaps slip right out.
