New bumber and wing advice.

Ao1 · 06-01-2015, 11:44 AM

Someone hit my car whilst it was parked in a car park. The bumper and wing are totalled. Not sure yet sure if there is any damage beneath, but hopefully not. The car is an E92 M Sport pre lci. What are my options for a new bumper and wing? Just replace as standard or go for something different? (M3 style M1 etc.) I don't want fibre glass. I have fully comp and PNCD, but would rather not claim on insurance. Here is the damage

I think the bumper can be fixed but I would upgrade to an m3 bumper if I was you!

I need to respray my front bumber to (e92 msport pre-lci) and have been looking at 1m bumpers. There is a seller on eBay selling them for £299 but no idea what the fitment is like.

Sparky68 had an M3 rep from Ebay that he said was OK, but it won't fit my car.

If I got the bumper, wings and bonnet from a M3 would they fit to the car?

I'm guessing no, so what other options do I have? Anyone have links to products they have purchased and could give good feedback on fitment?

EDIT: Also does anyone know if an MSport LCI bumper will fit a pre-lci car ?

Sorry to see your car in that state. Whats going on? People have lost decency to look after others stuff

Re: your questions;
-LCI bumper will not fit
-Your bumper may be repairable
-Personally I will not buy M3 bumper with fog lights.
-1M bumper is better option IMO and will suit your wrapped car better than M3 front bumper.

That wing is easily repairable by the looks of it. Bumper I'd just go M3 rep.

Is it easy to retrofit DPC? (Got it on the rear)

Anyone know the best place to get an M3 or M1 rep?

Anyone tried the Lumma CLR?

EZ_TUR90 · 06-01-2015, 06:17 PM

I would just replace the parts. OEM M tech is much nicer then the m3 replica bumpers. Just my opinion.

dy63 · 06-01-2015, 06:20 PM

they both look repairable to be honest. a garage should be able to repair both. im guessing remove the wrap. repair the ding or scratch etc with filler or whatever. sand it down ready for paint but instead of paying for paint get it re wrapped

The wing panel is completely split so I can't really see that being repaired. The clips between the bumper and wing are also broken. Maybe I could knock out the dents in the bumper and fill them, but the time it will take vs buying a new one does not appear to stack up, plus I don't want to end up with a repair bodge job.

jackstrath · 06-02-2015, 02:01 AM

is the wing plastic or is it just the way the wrap has split ?

shaggy ek4 · 06-02-2015, 02:59 AM

The wings are plastic yea ive got one here with similar damage to that and i will be repairing it to sell on.
That bumper looks easy enough to repair aswell id stick with repairing them mate.

jackstrath · 06-02-2015, 03:17 AM

wow never knew that , why doesnt the e91 have plastic wings?

Digitalize · 06-02-2015, 04:53 AM

No idea but the E90/1 have metal, E92/3 and M3 are all plastic. Obviously lighter.

Looking at it again they're all fixable, the damage is pretty minor really. I imagine the bumper just needs some heat to pop back in to its proper shape, and the wing can be plastic welded back together.
