Removing 35is bumper silver slats

AsiaKid · 03-18-2013, 08:28 AM

Anyone know how? I seen how they suggest it for the non m bumper..but the thing is I wonder if i can just rip it off without ripping off the mesh? Do i just get a plier tilt up and then yank? Any help? Thanks guys/gals.

I've been looking into this as I'm about to do a front bumper M sport upgrade for our Z4. Looking at the Real OEM site for the BMW parts, I don't believe these additional silver strips on the 35is are designed/easily able to come apart, so if you do manage to get them off with pliers, there may not be a nice mesh finish behind them.

The standard M sport left and right hand side grills aren't that expensive, they are £22.79 each here in the UK
