Fitted the aero kit today, really happy with it obviously, but i have a few questions if anyone could help out,

On the bonnet grill, managed to get it off eventually, but how do you get it to hold back in place? At the moment the lugs are just sitting in the holes, did not see anything to hold it in place in the kit, am i supposed to glue it?

Then, there are two plastic trims which i could not work out where they go, i am guessing its for the front bumper though, they are sickle shaped??

Finally, i dont like the american style trims, are the ones on newministuff the right fit for the aero kit?

Few pics, will be giving it a full detail tomorrow

Many thanks,
James

Hi James
Kit looks great!
To answer your questions about the kit:
When you removed standard grill there should have been nuts type bits holding the grill on,those are what you use to fit the aero grill on. Just screw them onto the black lugs!
The two sickle shaped parts are used to connect the bumper to the bottom frame of the car,there are 4 plastic rivets which you use to fix the bumper to sickle shaped part also 2 self tapping screws which go just behind the refector by the wheel arch.
Hope this helps

Keith

Cheers,

Went down to BMW and got them today, along with some new wheel arches, as the current ones could do with updating.

Did a bit of research regarding the reflectors, bmw cant order them as they are part of the aero kit bumper, but i think i am going to tint them so they dont stand out so much, think it will look pretty good actually, also got the bits to connect them up to the lights, will give an update soonish

How much did you pay for the parts to connect the lights up?
