Correct.

All Buyers,


Please be carefull when you are about to install the front lip by yourself k..

Remember you need to start from the middle section first then left and right will follow.as for left and right corner,you need to pull a bit to bring each corner to the edge.

dont start on left or right first!remember that!

I can gurantee that you will not find any difficulties installing the front lip.

if you cant then I suggest bring to the nearest bodsyhop
thnx

Ive tested the front lips and all depends how you install the front lip.
if you guys can install then please go to the professional bodyshop

thnx

you've been saying that for a week now. no more talk, just do it.

Here is a pix for those interested. Looks worse in person / sunlight.

[xtlwulf]

unless im retarded, my lip does not fit
the front part of the lip does not fit

Xtwulf,

when you install the front lip,
please do make sure that you have already trim the black plastic k.

take out the black plastic,trim a bit and re install it.start from the middle section.

[xtlwulf]

did i do something wrong?
or does the lip is crap, dont fit at all?

you need to trim a bit on the black plastic.

even the original authentic hartge need to do that too

Yes it has to be done.you can ask around all the hartge buyers.
they will need to trim a bit on the black plastic

Its not about the fittment.You need to have experience installing the front lip.
if you cant then you need to bring to the nearest bodyshop

[xtlwulf]

felix, its not a "bit" of trimming though, if you want me to trim it, youre asking me to cut half of the black plastic, cause the lip cuts at the middle of the black plastic.

if a trimming a "bit" in your vocabulary means to cut half of it, then can't i just take off the black plastic?
i dont want to mess around with original parts, especially if it means of cutting HALF of the black plastic.

yes you can do tht too..either you cut it or just leave it.
all depends on your choice.either way it will look good too

FYI: some of my previous buyers bought from me,some of them do their own installation and some of them are not.
all depend on you.

they do trim the black plastic.its not difficult.but again if you dont have any experience cutting or trimming then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you to bring to bodyshop.

cutting and trimming is different k.

On this issue, I say that the trimming is not half, but about 1 - 1.5 cm (about half an inch).

you can ask my buddy andrew about this.he saw it when he is in my factory.

so drew u coming to my place this weekend?

[zzinco79]

There is DIY for hartge lip installing.

You need to remove the black (chrom for 330i and 335i) mesh rod then put the lip on. and trim the rod (obviously after you remove it from the lower grill) with dremmel, send paper, knife, whatever you want. But I personally recomend Dremmel. and just put the rod "on top" of the lip.

[xtlwulf]

So i did what felix said to do,
i took off the black trims and inserted the lip
and then i didnt have a problem putting the lip on
in fact, it looks pretty nice to me
fitment of the lip seems pretty good
besides for the little chip

anyway now i have a new problem
i live in ny, and i decided to do what my friend uhaulball does,
take down my front license plate
however when i took it off, as you can see in the 1st pic,
i have these 2 very nasty drill holes
anyone can tell me how i can cover it up?
and is having no front license plate really a big deal in NY?
meaning would i be constantly pulled over by the cops like my gf says?

[Collanrf]

Here's for those holes. Bumper plugs. http://www.bimmian.com/product.htm?v...item=BPL&ref=1

Fiuhhhh problem solve!!
btw I strongly suggest that you install the black plastic.much better on the car.
trust me.and for the 2 small holes.either you cover it out or bring to bodyshop ask them to do prep works.

thnx again

I talked to some pig the other day and he said in NY traffic law, if you have more than 3 tickets (any kind of traffic violation) in 18 months of period, then your license will suspend for 6 months with fines. So I just put them back

Well what do you know...I think that lip looks very nice and the
fitment looks ok in your car. Congrats and well done.

Whats the easiest way to screw in the front lip on the bottom? Obviously there arent any premade holes and its hard to fit a drill under the car without a jack. What did some of you guys do, if you did use screws??

some of them used 3m double tape and screw on the edge each left and right

find smaller screw
