Rear undertray gap when fitting a Z4m bumper

[olsonn]

I am now on the final stages of fitting my Z4M bumper to my 2004 2.5i E85. I have already done a test fit, so I now know that there is a gap between the Z4m bumper and the standard under tray. I know that the bumper is connected at the edges but I am concerned if a gust of wind catches it in the middle. I have looked at getting a Z4m under tray and modifying it to fit around the battery box, but they are as rare as hens teeth second hand and I am scared to ask how much a new one would be. Has anybody else come across this problem and how did you tackle it

I know a few others have had this issue, I think JINGLE has a nice under-shot when his car is up on ramps at a garage. I think he linked the gap with a small section of metal / plastic? One clipping the existing holes under neath and one to the new bumper.

Have you fitted the rear yet? Sorted out your lights?

Just got my facelift light surrounds back from the sprayer today so now have everything in place. I am going to do the workaround option first, of taking a feed from the number plate lights to replace the 6v feed in the pre facelift lights. Then it will be off to Mike for a bit of recoding to sort it properly

I left the gap on my previous zed and never had any issues even on a private runway at 145mph

As above, I’ve not used any extra fittings on mine and no issues.... although my car doesn’t go 145 on that private runway :rofl: :headbang:

Here’s the photo I tried to PM you, should be able to see how it’s all laid out etc

Looks very impressive, a bit more fancy than I will be going for. Will post some photos of mine once it is fitted
