What did you do with your headlight washers?

Blueherb · 06-12-2014, 11:28 AM

Looks SOOOO good!!!! And yes I'm very curious on what to do with the washers. I don't know any local coders

What lip did you get? Also curious about what ducting works back there. Really debating this bumper or the BMWP offering.

MBM6F · 06-12-2014, 03:38 PM

I think he went with the Reiger lip. Any word on it?

I actually coded them out of my VO.
But it looks like a very simple fix might be to pull fuse #48!

Put the blond with the 1er.

BTW in Cincy as well. You ever go to a Fuel on Saturday? Your car looks familiar.

Sometime this summer I'd like to get a 1er photo shoot. There's some good spots west of P Brown that are pretty cool.

The 1M bumper looks Japanese? First time I have ever heard that one... But thanks for the constructive criticism! lol

Anyways, I am not sure what happened but I had to re-order the lip.

Also, would like to get opinions from others on with or without the fogs. I am leaning towards without them.

ryan.ferguson · 06-17-2014, 11:16 AM

It might look better without the fog light mesh. If you can easily take it off it might be worth a shot. But of those two I personally think without looks better

ShocknAwe · 06-17-2014, 11:49 AM

+1 to without the foglight mesh entirely. If you leave it in, I think you should run the fogs. It looks unfinished if you have the mesh and foglight mount in there but no lights.

BTXP.XD · 06-18-2014, 05:43 PM

You didn't get the lip from ebay right? I just had my bumper installed, and a couple of my friends got me a lip from ebay : http://www.ebay.ca/itm/BMW-E82-E88-C...vxp=mtr&_uhb=1

I hope this fits on my bumper, they would be pissed if it didn't

Jon. · 06-21-2014, 11:03 AM

I reckon the fog lights look great - especially with the lip. If you're worried about the doubling look, try put some colored film on it; yellow, blue, tinted. Forgot what company made nice tint films for our fogs..

Walter K · 08-25-2014, 03:49 PM

Any update on the lip? I'm curious to see the finished product
