DAN - need mud flap bolt.

Dan,
Can you source item C separately?

[Dan@UnitedBMW]

My EPC doesn't show a mounting kit separate, however I e-mailed BMW and hopefully they can come up with a better answer. I'll reply to this thread when I have their answer

Dan,

Not to hijack, but while you're at it - If I go for the Tii rocker panels, should I install them before the mud flaps? That is, will I have to remove the mud flaps to remove/install the rockers?

Thanks in advance.

Have Fun,
Rick

I would install them after you do the rocker panels. I don't know that you would have to actually remove them, but can't hurt since it may be double work. Perhaps someone who has done both can chime in.


Just got word back from BMW, there is no rivet kit that they know of that will replace the ones found in mud flap package. What can I do to help, and what happened exactly?

I might have 2 extra lying around. I'll check my toolbox tonight when I get home and if I do I can toss them in the mail to you.

bummer........I caught the LF flap on a parking block which snapped the head off the plastic rivet - (glad that is all it did), the flap doesn't seem to move around much w/o the rivet but seems to me that rivet secures the bottom of the fender to the body......

LMK......

I just did this install a couple days ago, and I have the Tii Side Skirts (see my DIY Mud Flaps post).

Yes, you want to install your Tii side skirts BEFORE you install the mud Flaps. The Mud Flaps fit so tight, I would hate to have to remove them.

And I can confirm the OEM BMW front Mud Flaps do work perfectly with the Tii Side Skirts.

Did you ever find a source for the mounting screws ("C")? I need 2 (both bent when I was putting on the mud flaps), and I also need on of the "B" clips.

Thanks!

[Cooldaddygroove]

Northstar - Those "C" Screws do bend easy. Did you read my DIY? I bent both of mine trying to push them in with just my hand. Using an Allen key inside the bolt worked like a charm.

Never could source it from BMW
