Do you have to replace the water bottle?

Only if you are installing M3 fenders
The water bottle for the M3 fender has a cut out section for the indicators

Did you mount the fenders prior to painting? Or, did you pre-paint them before mounting them? I would assume mount them then color blend them to the doors.

Painted before fitting

I cannot believe I am just seeing this now.

Test fit one of my fenders a few weeks ago but the fitment was slightly off. I can see why now... That part that "Slides" on the front was an ABSOLUTE PITA. I was finally able to get everything together without fitment being terrible.

Lot's of swearing and dropping those stupid metal clips.

Hey Socks
Question:
To just replace the hose, is it accessible (and doable) just by taking off the guard liner? Or do the fenders need to be removed as well?
Cheers

Just the liner
No need to take off the fender
