Fog light delete cleans up the front end. Nice.

Hey your car looks good without the fog lights. I wanna do it on my car too, but upon looking at the back of the bumper, there are fog light holes in the back plastic bracket. If I only put on those 2 grills, wouldn't there be a dark hole behind it where the fogs once were? did you just take that out?

Thanks

Update: answered my own question. You need two more parts to not have empty holes behind the fogless grilles

51118054579 Race Fog Support - Left

51118054580 Race Fog Support - Right

Those are for f32 m sport

The front look is just stunning and aggressive ! Well done. I'm planning to replace the grills on the coming weekend . So i wanna know if there's anything else involved other than below steps for the grill replacement:

1- Remove the fog light housing
2- Remove the fog light support
3- Replace the grill
4- Code the fog light warning (Did you use ESYS ?)

Thanks in advance

Hi ReeseGia

Did you replace your grills ?. If yes, Did you have to get more parts other than the RACE grills and brackets ?

Why would they care? Or even know?


Since you are outside the US I’ll amplify.
We don’t have the regulations y’all do in Europe.
DMV is in charge of drivers licenses. That’s it.
County Tax Collector is in charge of collecting money for titles and plates.

In some counties there are emissions tests,most there aren’t.
in some safety inspections (do your headlights taillights and wipers work) in many places there aren’t those either.

Fog lights or driving lights are not only not mandatory in the US most cars don’t even have them stock… and they even disable rear fogs on US market vehicles.
So no one would care nor have any objections to taking them out. Plus 2014 F30 M sports didn’t have front fogs stock.

Looks great, going to be doing this to mine soon does the 440i have any air vents you need To buy behind the grill? And what did you do either the fog plug behind? Unsure if to wrap it in insulation tape but worried that if water gets in it may trap it in?

Also fitted the front fog delete, I found that once fitted because the fogs had blank plates that covered behind without the vents it looks a bit odd, still prefer it over the fog lights.

The fog support you can see behind can't be removed as it also is moulded to the support that the arch liner bolts too so has to stay there not sure if yo can even get the vents

Just a suggestion but when I did the foglight delete I just used a dremel to cut the empty fog holes out and leave the rest as the empty holes annoyed me after a while.
