alrighty, i somehow dented the lower-most piece of black plastic trim from the front bumper [not the part that scrapes, but the front lip under the black grille]... & BMW want $50 for a replacement!

so... if anyone has damaged or replaced [ie. with the aero kit] their bumper & are willing to part with this piece i'd be very keen to hear from you via PM or email!

taaaaa!

point taken chris... but it's just like the first time you curb your alloys, the dent isn't 'that' big & if i pay BMW for a new part i'm sure to do it again within a week!

i've lived with it for 12 months now, & don't even notice it myself... but a number of comments on the lsat drive-day have got me all self-conscious, so i just thought i'd see if anybody had one lying around!

I'm sure Poki could give hers to you - if there's any left. She scrapes it everywhere we go!

Pffft won't be long before there is nothing left of it.

After comparing them side by side yesterday I am positive my car is lower. No matter which way or speed I approach things, I always manage to scrape it.
