BavDom painted splitters

new2u · 05-09-2007, 02:57 PM

Got mine today.
Like others, mine also came with unpainted center edges.
(Used the touch-up paint. no problem.)

One major problem, John.
You sent the splitter to my old address!!!!!

(I told you about my moving many many times.)
And what's funny about FedEx is that they just left the package at my old house and left saying that "signature not needed".

I don't know who's fault it is, but I'm really disappointed because
if I had moved to like another city and the package was left there, someone would have picked it up. Please check the shipping address as many times as you can next time for other customers, John.

*Could you post your DIY asap?

Terribly sorry about that! I thought I sent it to the one you wanted. My mistake. SO SORRY

Dom,
Will the sets you are sending out from the April GB have painted edges?

gonzo, TBH you shouldn't need any different screws, but if it is the case you can get them at any harware store for a couple dollars. Anyone who is skeptical about mounting them yourselves give me a couple days until I post the DIY

Spazdoc · 05-10-2007, 11:36 AM

If you can let us know the thread and length of the longer screws.... I will not be installing for a week or two anyway.

Like I said, for every installation WE'VE done, the stock screws should work, if not get the same screws just a little longer.

Ok, maybe my bad here. Being my car is dead at the dealer I can't go out and look. Are the holes in the cars underside already there, with a screw in place? Again, I have no reference here.

I realize that, but some people are requiring longer screws. I can much more easily go out and pay $1 for screws I don't use than uninstall and find out after applying the splitters that I need screws.

Teacher, teacher. I have had my hand up awhile....Can you answer my question, please.

Sorry, yes, the screws are already there. They are the screws that hold the bumper from underneath, the splitters are help by the last two screws at both ends.

Thank you teacher. Here is you an apple.

Now, about my car............................................... ...........................

Paul330d · 05-11-2007, 11:59 AM

I installed mine today. Took about 40 minutes to do it properly (finding longer screws, adding some more tape, cleaning bumper, rigging braces, etc), but I'm happy. Thanks, John.

very nice, you're welcome. Thank you for your patience.

evoi19 · 05-12-2007, 01:55 AM

question for all the ones who have installed these:

Did you guys jack your car up to get to the screws? I'm just curious.

Nope, get one of those bendy screwdriver...that can screw at an angle.

BmwOwnsMe · 05-12-2007, 03:49 PM

Or just roll one side of the wheel onto a brick. Handbrake and proceed to screw or unscrew. Im soo ghetto.lol.

F30Toad · 05-12-2007, 04:20 PM

Just an FYI. Even if the screws grab, like in my case, they probably won't hold for long. The one on the passenger side came out in less than 24 hrs. Pretty sure I know right where it came out as it thumped around my wheel well. Just glad I didn't get a puncture.
