removing and replacing side indicators

Post by z4alfie » Mon Aug 17, 2009 10:01 am

I have ordered some clear repeater lenses for my Z4 and I have looked for a post on how to remove and replace them. I cant find one so wondered if anyone knows how to do it. I have also ordered the clear third brake light but that looks pretty straightforward. cheers in advance of your help

If you push on it as well whilst you turn it, goes a bit easier then.

You have to transfer the badges though, easily done. I also bought the actual "glue" part as well for 50p or so as that saved me messing about with alternative glues to get the badge back on.

I don't suppose you have the part numbers for those clear indimacators? at that price, it's pretty rude not to.
