Fitting flippers to bumper

M3 KVU · 29-05-2018, 12:04 PM

Was just trying to fit mine to my new bumper and is there a knack to it so they sit bang on ??

Sledge hammer and cold chisel, if that doesn't work - blow torch

.

What seems to be the problem with the alignment, I didn't think you could fit them wrongly?

Lol that would work !

Seems tight to slip on at the inside ends then tuck the flap at the top under the bumper , almost seems like they need trimming at the top part.

They do need a bit of persuasion, but shouldn't need trimming

They go in using a diagonal movement as I remember. Start at the inside end and move them upwards and inwards.
