lets get some iX mudflaps made. Who can help?

[Bimmer_man]

Yes these must be made asap. Id be down.

Back from the dead. Not sure if anyone is still interested in this, but I have a set of clean used front iX flaps that I'd be willing to have used as a model if anyone really thinks they can make this happen.


PM or email me. If no one is interested in remaking these, I'll probably just put them up on Fleabay and let the market decide what they're worth.

I need someone to measure the mud flaps for me. Doesn't have to be exact. I just need some approximate overall dimensions.

9 1/4 inches wide (bottom)
15 inches high

with enough photos of a set under decent and consistent light, a 3d model can be constructed easily, then touched up/smoothed out for accuracy. Can someone take a load of pictures in decent resolution and post them up? Keep the target and background fixed, only move the camera?

bump. I really hope this ends up happening

Anyone moving on these?

I will model them, but will need parts shipped to me. I may or may not ship them back. ;)

Way to build confidence!

So...Who's going to 3D model these NLA NIB front iX flaps?

Let us know what we can do to help.

AWDE30 - amazing find!

I would love to take the lead on solid modeling and specifying a material for these if you don't mind JeremyL? I can send you and Garagistic both a 2d spec and 3d file once they're modeled.

If JeremyL has the capabilities to mold these and can I would love to have him do it. He is relativity close to me in Vancouver and I would like to avoid the risk of shipping these. If he cannot then I would be willing to explore other options.

Sounds good, I'm available as needed.

From what I understand and have learned there are two different versions of the iX front mudflap. Maybe someone can chime in on this but I know for a fact that there are two different part numbers. I believe this is due to the fact of a revision in the front iX fender flare sometime in the production process. Not sure if the euro iX flare part number carried over to the US 1988MY then was changed sometime after 88 or not. Nor do I have the time at the moment to search realoem for part number information. So this might come into play in making an iX mudflap set that will work for all North American iX cars. Moving on...

I happened to be very lucky after searching for 6 years to find a set of front iX flaps. And randomly found a set new in bag complete with brackets from BMW that have never been opened or used. I couldn't send money any faster to score these things.

I have them now and they stay in the bag as my iX needs all new brake and fuel lines and is in Michigan. I live in Portland.

However I am willing to open up this OEM BMW accessory if it means it will help out some fellow iXers. And I am very willing to get them molded if it means they will get produced and as long as they don't get damaged in the process.

I have been reluctant in posting pictures of these because I don't like to brag and boast...and these may be the last unopened set in the world.

Anyways here you go....
