Replying to: bargamon (Jul 05, 2006 8:45 pm) Like your reply...good solid information. Much appreciated. Particularly like; Why they need you to come back? Can't they overnite you the paperwork? It did not happen to me personally..it is a poster on another form, but if we hear the outcome we'll report back. |

I just got finished fitting the front splash guards to my wife's truck. It was dead easy, taking all of one hour. The only tool I had to buy was a rivet gun designed for plastic rivets. The directions advise that you remove the front wheels, but it's not really necessary. I will have to remove the wheels in order to fit the rear guards,but I'm saving that job for when I install the BMW trailer hitch. At that time I'll also be fitting a new rear bumper to replace the one that was scratched in a local parking lot by an incompetent tourist(he lied to his adjuster, but fortunately I had the police report-after the adjuster looked it over he was all too happy to cut a check for just $211).

Replying to: bodble2 (Jul 10, 2006 10:08 am) Sorry, I don't know proper etiquette for BMW ownership. Why would you say that, although I think I get the point. Personally, I am too lazy and incompetent to add any after market items. But I think splash guards actually could look attractive, and are probably quite useful.

Replying to: driver100 (Jul 10, 2006 12:56 pm) They aren't aftermarket items. They are OEM BMW accessories:  My wife likes her truck to stay clean. Since our private gravel driveway is over 2600 feet long, I know that the guards help quite a bit-I also fitted BMW guards to her E36 and E39.

Replying to: div2 (Jul 10, 2006 1:42 pm) I thought I would need a new paint job, I am sure it is still stuck to the inside of all the wheels and under the car. I got a good tar cleaner and that worked quite well but flaps would have saved me a lot of work. I also get a lot of built up dirt on the doors just under the mirrors, that is very hard to remove. This might solve that problem. I only wash my car about once every 6 weeks. It's nice that they were made to blend in with the cars design.
