Front bumper fang protectors

Post by LawrenceW » Tue Aug 23, 2022 9:58 am

Hi, does anyone know if you can still buy the fang protectors used on the bottom of the front bumper for the Z4M? Or if anyone has a pair they’d be willing to sell? ( pref new or very good condition).
Thanks in advance :thumbsup:

Don't know if these (viewtopic.php?t=137111) were sold or not, as the last message was that wassup would take them, but don't see any confirmation.

Get some alu sheets and you can fairly easily do them yourself

This would be the sort of thing we should make ‘open source’ on the forum. Simple plans that can be printed out to scale and everyone can make their own if they fancy.

I can't find the other one but it looks the same but without the hole for the temp sensor, hold a piece of stiff paper under the fang, trace around it and trim to fit.
You can use the existing screws to secure it, you just wand to protect those very expensive plastic pieces that are so exposed.

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on some fang protectors a while back and will try and see if I can get a local machine shop to fabricate a set or two...watch this space :thumbsup:
