Hit a curb on a right turn, can the be popped back in?

NOCTERNAL123 · 08-16-2021, 01:38 PM

I made a right turn and didnt realize the curb was that big, I heard a loud pop sound, and thought it was my rim, but saw it was the side skirt the next day. Can this be fixed at home? And how much would a shop charge?

you may have some broken clips but otherwise you can do it yourself. Was your last car a FWD?

My last car was a 320i F30, is it me or is the hood on the 4 series way bigger? I think I hit that curb because I legit didn't see it over the hood lol

It's probably the vampire tints that stopped you seeing the kerb, not the length o the bonnet

I'd first try a decent rap over where the clips are...it might just pop back in? If not, it's mostly clips to remove...maybe a couple of screws underneath?

realoem.com to see what's there.

there are couples of videos on youtube tell you how to take your side skirt off, look specifically for 4 series cause its different from 3 series. I have done it to put side skirt extensions on, you can try to fix or get rid of the bad clips and pop it back to look right. Unless you have visible scratches this would be the best option to fix this.
