got my bumper and front airdam off today

[A_325i]

is it supposed to look like this under the bumper and airdam?

looks like the PO hacked up the valance pretty good eh?






this is the damage done to the front airdam

That car is a hack job overall. I have no idea whats going on with that front valance.

Looks like PO bought the FG Breyton replica and then to fit it and the fogs decided to just chop up the valance rather than get a late model valance - which would have worked without any cutting. The cuts in the vlance were likely to accomodate the fogs and/or brake ducts.

it hasnt had fogs or brake ducts since ive owned it

Even before your r3v almost none of the body panels lined up.

Well, my idea is the only logical reason someone would chop it like that. but who knows?

ummm ok you obviously have never seen my car?...the only things that didnt line up perfectly was the driver side fender and the trunklid so wtf are you on about?

[MR 325]

That's nice and hacked up. Slap a late model front valance on there with an iS lip and you're golden

thats what im hoping for...im also selling the rear apron cause well it would look kinda funny if i kept it on..btw does anyone know how to remove the rear bumper to take the airdam off?...the front was pretty straight forward but the rears looks much harder theres no room for me to get to the bolts that hold the bumper on the bumper shocks

[MR 325]

Far as I know the rear is just as easy as the front but I have never actually done a rear

[A_325i]

yea i figured it should be just as easy...but on the front the airdam had holes to get to the bumper shock bolts to get the bumper off...the rear does not have these holes so i dont know exactly how to take it off ...
