Front Bumper Project - HELP NEEDED

Post by idej_z4 » Tue Jan 17, 2017 8:26 pm

Hello,

I'm in the processing of sorting some bits for the front bumper on my 3.0si. I won't say much about what I'm doing, but will reveal all when its completed on my mods thread.

For now, I just need some help on a little piece. The side reflectors on the si bumper...can you buy replacement pieces? Or does anyone else have any suggestions on the best way to get rid of them.

Image below shows what I'm on about.

Thanks for the reply Andy. My aim is to remove them and hopefully get some filler pieces and spray them...I'm doing something similar with the fog lights (already got the pieces for the fog lights from a dealer).

Wouldn't it be better to fill the bumper rather than add a file piece. If you are having paint done it's what I would do.

Sounds like a good idea...I'll enquire with my sprayer. Cheers!

You're getting the panel re-sprayed? If so it's a tiny bit of body filler you need. Sprayer should be able to do that... otherwise its an easy DIY.
