1M rep bumper and wheel well liner

ElTonillo · 05-19-2015, 11:35 PM

Hey whats up
This is not your typical 1M replica bumper thread, I did some research on this but couldn't find any solution to this problem.
So I was planning on getting rid of my front bumper license plate and then patch he holes and have the bumper repainted but a 1M rep bumper opportunity came up and it was already painted the same color so it was going to be more expensive to have my old bumper repainted so I went for it.

I really like how it looks and the fitment is perfect on top and on the sides but on the bottom thats where there are a lot of problems, I replaced the OEM ducts for the 1M ducts which fit perfect but there is still a problem with the wheel well liner, there is just to big of a gap there and I don't like how it looks.
Could I just buy the 1M wheel liner and replace it? or would it be too wide for the 135i? or what would you guys do to cover that hole?

*Im going to get some mesh to cover the front but my question is regarding the wheel well liner.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

1M liner will be way too wide. But you could buy one and mold the 135i with the 1M air curtain duct.

I'm having the same problem. I plan to just add some plastic to it. I'll update this if I ever fix it.

So today I was experimenting with some materials and stuff and I found some black foam lying around and it seems to cover the holes pretty well, tomorrow I’m going to use some double sided tape to secure it but it looks pretty good, it molds to the shape of the liner pretty well and obviously its very light and I’m pretty happy with how it looks.

To the naked eye its almost impossible to tell the difference from the liner to the foam, I had to get some very close up shots and use the flash to the max so you can see the 2 materials.
