Front Finisher Removal guide?
Hi All,
I got my G30 540i back in June, I'm thinking of wrapping my front finisher(the trim above the front LED Fog Light) in red to give a contrast to my Carbon Black body, Anyone have any idea how to remove it? please see picture to see exactly the trims I'm talking about.. thanks.

I did pull them apart last week to test out something and I will take them apart again this week.
If you are willing to wait, I will take a pictures on how to take it apart. In the mean time, I'll put them in words for now. There are 3 clips along the top and 2 clips along the side. And, 2 clip point on the bottom of the top part that clip on the grill. So, I'll start with the 2 clips along the side. These you can use a long flat screw driver from behind the bumper air slot to undo them. Pull it from the front a little so it won't snap back. Then, undo the bottom 2 clips of the top part by pressing them with flat screw driver. Again, pull it gently to it won't snap back. For the 3 top clips, start from the outer working inward slowly by pulling them. It should unclip with a little force. Oh, and I would put masking tape around it so you don't scratch the bumper. Good luck.

That's great info....I have been debating if to change the Black ones for the Cerium Grey Trim found on the M550i. I priced it up but my dealer said I would have to loose the Fog Lights. I don't know if that's true? |

Sorry about the teaser. This what I was doing yesterday. Trying to make it fit. AutoTecknic and I will make it that will fit for both 530/540 and M550 in matte black (ready for paint), gloss black, and CF (at least that's the plan for now). The other way is to delete the foglight as you mentioned.

YES! So these will match the Cerium Grey Grills or do we have to get them painted? Do you ship to UK? |

It still be a while before we will have the final product. It won't be in the M550 finish though. The original M550 finish is some type of plating method, not paint.
