I want to keep the ones fitted original. What did they cost Dude ? See them on ebay from Latvia for $96 euro.Will get a price with my dealer this week.
There is a post somewhere with a pic of how to get the original ones off.Zed Five said:Nictrix said:
Absolutely. I can prep and paint them. How do they come off? They just look so 'snappety snapable' though
Pop the bonnet and look in the gap behind where the indicator sits.
There are 2 plastic tangs that hold the indicator to the wing.
If you press the one closest to you the indicator will pop free.
The new style has double sided tape holding the long part of the indicator so I would imagine you must have to cut through this first and replace the tape when reinstalling.

They also have a tab further along too about 3 or 4 inches along as well as the tape. So ideally they'll need to be heated to try and remove the sticky tape as wall as unclipping the three tabs. It's also a bit of a ballache to get your hand to the third clip due to the space. Probably better possibly removing the wheel arch liner and going in that way.
Oh and new indicators to then paint can be had for around £90ish. Harry Fairbairns in Kirkaldy on BMWforms.info usually do a 15% discount and free delivery.

You could just wrap them - I did and they have lasted two years - cost about £30 or £10 if you do it yourself
I found tj engeneering on fudbook, sent them a message & the boy replied straight away. Parts ordered
