M radiator cover?

Post by Argenta » Tue Apr 26, 2022 12:41 pm

Hi!
One thing has annoyed me since I bought the car is the radiator plastic cover which BMW never bothered to make for the M, they just used the Si cover.
Has anyone seen an M-version?
(Maybe something for 'Skyer'..?) :P

I made one like the Skyer one from carbon but it does not have the BMW badge or the hole in it for the radiator cap. But it was not as good as I wanted it.

I need to try harder and get the mold better and try again

Mine had no louver vents, hole for the rad cap or BMW badge.

maybe as the weather gets beter I will try again.

No, all I did was cement a piece of flat plastic panel to the bottom of the Rad cover, that hole was bugging me. :)
