Front Aero lip removal

zaytar · 08-19-2009, 06:00 PM

Hi Guys,

tonight I inadvertently mounted a car park kerb. Ruined my front aero lip

I fit the lip myself several months ago and have loved it, however now I need to buy, spray and fit another.

The problem being how can I remove the current one? I used the BMW fixing kit when I installed - This stuff is like black glue. It seems super solid. Does anyone know how I could remove the lip without damaging the front bumper? I don't mind any further damage to the lip itself as that will be binned.

Any tips appreciated.

I also damaged a side skirt

Replacing them is more straightforward.
thankfully.

Thanks mate.

Removing the aero is not going to happen - it is rock solid stuff that glue. I've sourced a new bumper already. However interested in the skirts - are they M-sport ones?
