Z4M from Sweden - Sepang bronze

Well, finally took the plunge.

Yesterday me and my brother took the front bumper of for a repaint due to stone chips.

The bumper was no problem, the problem was the black grill/mesh. That was a PITA :D

3 Small things happened and I want you to beware.

The hinges were the bumper meets the fender was very very tight and I got a small crack in the plastic thing thats attached to the car. But superglue will fix that.

The washer caps are very fragile and I broke one of them, see pic further down.

I forgot about the washer fluid, lol :) got my feet all wet for a while :)

Thanks for the the regarding how to disconnect the bumper:

Today was the day when the bumper cover was going back on the car! (I thought)

Picked up my new freshly painted bumper!

Better then new!



Not to the boring part!
Worst construction I have ever seen! (not my picture/car) but it looked the same.



LOL BMW? Brake the part to remove it?




What it SHOULD look like!



The result after the fine instructions from BMW :)




Not my day today :( have to order new clips!


 
Thanks guys!

I will order the clips for both sides and replace the drivers side as well even though its not broken but the new design is supposed to be stronger.
