Cool, I'll do that.

The push pins can break and the slot that you slide push pins in on the door sill can also break if your not careful. I would find where the clips attach to the body and slide in 2 skinny flat head screw drivers on each side of the clip and gently push down on the screw drivers forcing them up...that is if you don't have the removal tool.

And now I'm waiting till monday for my skirts to be done, guy at the paint shop wasn't happy with the way they came out after paint cured and said he wanted them to be perfect so i guess i can wait.

Hopefully when Dan gets back he will inform us that 10 people have paid and this is ready to go...

Bullitt · 03-28-2011, 04:02 PM

Is price for both sides?

I might be in for a painted set... I'll know for sure by Wed.

Derk1127 · 03-28-2011, 04:20 PM

Yes the price is for both sides, I wasn't even looking into getting the sideskirts but at this price painted it's a deal too good to pass up.

+1

We will have 10 finally! Or we might have 10 already since Dan is away and no update till Wednesday. I would jump on board ASAP as this group buy is probably a one time thing!

Yes this price is right. For around 650$ you can get your dealer to do it without install

Here for 495$ you can install yourself easily and save yourself some cash. These types of items rarely get group buys too... since so many people drop out and/or do not want them.

Still can't wait on these bad boys! BimmerBilly could you post pics of your set you got?

Bullitt · 03-28-2011, 05:52 PM

Nice! That's a good price for sure, esp for a painted set. To be honest, I'm one of the few who actually likes the look of the stock side skirts. But these performance ones do look good too and also add a bit of aggressiveness to the car's form.

My 1er is already in the body shop for some work, so I was able to urge them to match this GB price. Although I can't join now, hopefully this GB gets off the ground!

Cheers to new side skirts!

Forgive me for providing any false hope and then not being the 10th if Dan doesn't have 10 already!

My body shop actually ballparked the price for painting alone at $400+ for these side skirts so this GB price is quite an awesome deal that we probably won't see ever again. Ppl should jump on this!

It is okay! We are waiting on a couple people who signed up to pay... (We have over 10 people I believe it is just a matter of who pays when and when they get the money to pay.)

Where did you buy your side skirts from?

The body shop is getting them through a nearby dealership and then subsidizing their paint cost to match this GB price. They are currently doing some work for me so it was made possible.

aries2k1 · 03-29-2011, 09:30 PM

No worries over here with the wait, I'm currently overseas and won't even get a chance to look at the sideskirts until the end of May. The GB was just too good to pass up. Hopefully you all post some pics after they're installed.

Hello all,

I just got back from Vegas after attending BMW's Aftersales conference.

Allow me to catch up, and yes we have 10.

Is there an ETA update for these?

S54dan · 04-03-2011, 09:45 PM

Just got our 10th while I was away. I started sending them to the paint shop on Friday.

Sweet! I hope mine are ready by this weekend

I am assuming you will let us know who has their skirts ready to go once they are painted?

+1 for your hard work Dan

S54dan · 04-05-2011, 07:02 AM

Yep, I'll let everyone know when paint is done

tybo · 04-05-2011, 10:58 PM

is there anyway to get in on this if not then can i still get a set painted jet black shipped to 88203

S54dan · 04-08-2011, 08:25 AM

for bad news. Our paint shop informed me of 4 sets of damaged rockers, so I'll have to order 4 more from BMW.

Satalite · 04-08-2011, 10:46 AM

Bummer. So only 6/10 paintable. Still can't wait for my AW set

I'm assuming that the damage is caused by shipping? That's frustrating

drinkcoke3 · 04-08-2011, 05:51 PM

does that mean 7, 8, 9, and 10 have to wait?
