I ve jus put a Cooper S bumper onto my cooper, does anyone know how to move the fog lights to anothe position so that it fits into the gap where it should be?
I can 2 screws holding it in place but no idea on how to get to them, Can anyone advise??

Thanks

Oh dear, I fitted the Aero kit myself, and I'm sorry to tell you but the Fog lights are a right biatch to move.

I didn't think you'd have to move them for the Cooper bumper to an S bumper, obvioulsy I was wrong!

My dad ended up doing it by screwing screw out from the wrong end with pliers. Took us about an hour and a half just to move the fogs!!

Oh yeah there are 3 screws, and only way I can see at making it easy to do (than me and my dads way) is to take the wheels off, and take the arch piece out so you can get a the back of them. Theres quite a few "pop" screws in there that can allow you to get you hand behind the fogs, but removing the whole inner arch I haven't a clue.

I had the same thought as u and your dad did but then thought how am i suppose to put them back in afterwards?!?!? so i kinda gave up on that idea!!
just hoping someone comes up with an easier way cause dont like the idea of takin of the arches very much! I mean i like DIY but not that much!! Thanks Damo! I jus have to keep scratchin my head

Well we screwed them out backwards, but with enough of the arch moved out the way, as I said you can undo 2 plug screw things and you can get your hand back there, fiddly but it can be done. Just screw it back in with your hand enough to screw it back in from the wrong end.

I'm very picky and its fit very tight again so no probs here, done 4000 miles with it and theyre fine. (not that they get used much with Xenons)

Hmm... i think i give it a try, if i still cant get it done guess i have to take it back to BMW!
Where did you buy the Aero kit from? coz you said you put it on yourself right?

[Damo]

Bought it from dealer with new car, just "un fitted". Picked up aero kit day before car in my dads transit

Done it now! decided to get up early today to sort it out! i jus used your way to do it! with pliers didnt hold much of a problem apart from the highest one! but came out in the end!
But when i put them back on i screw them on reverse to the way they normally are so in future its easier to get to and it holds on real tight, thought be much easier!
Jus glad its done now! also had time to fit my Cooper S Fuel Cap! now that was a bugger to fit!!
