LCI Montego 335i first mod! - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

ThreeThirtyFiveI · 04-12-2009, 03:31 PM

Started the mods with some painted reflectors from Long Tran enjoy

I chose to heat the reflectors with the hair dryer and when it was warm enough for the bottom to be removed I then put some goo gone to start the glue removal process. I found that pulling down on the skinnier part of the fender made it so the bottom of the reflector became free and then I was able to use a flat head to move along the glue line. Once I got the bottom done I then went to the thicker part of the assembly and just pried it with the screwdriver. Once I put the new reflectors in I just massaged them into place and pressed along the edges until it was good...

Time to wash it, I'll post some better non-phone pictures later...
