New bumper questions - United Bimmer Community

1) How can I tell if my new bumper really is made of polyurethane?

2) Anyone has a DIY on how to remove my old bumper?

Not to worry taking it to get painted first thing in morning, should have it by tomorrow night or the next day

man rooz u ask waaaay to many questions

i cant tell you how you can determine the meterial, but i can tell you how to remove

see that black molding on ur bumper, remove that(its like a clip that slides in each other) and behind where the license plate goes, there are 4 nuts, take those out and then take the bumper and pull it out(it like slides in.. pretty weird)

oh and too lazy to edit

be sure to disconnect fog lights... etc

yeah, I took off my bumper to take off foglights because someone broke the bracket so I couldn't get it off. Pry off the front impact trim or whatever its called, unbolt the nuts. Then undo the nuts in each wheel wheel, I also had to undo the ones underneath where the brake ducts are.

like 94bmw325 said.

and when you get it all unbolted, DO NOT JUST YANK IT OFF. You will break your fogs and then be pissed.

It's really not that complicated. The hardest part for me was getting it to slide back on.

I like Rooz...
you guys mod your cars so much...it's like your sig picture has to play catch up...

But I think it's Komodo who needs a new sig picture...I'm sure his car don't even look like the car in his sig anymore

Bumper has been dropped off, since it's a two tone I won't get it until Satruday, can't wait to slapp that sucker on

**Rooz** · 09-28-2005, 09:18 PM

Got my bumper here today, looks awsome, the 2tone (alpine white and cosmos black) really sets it off. I got home too late and it's already dark, I'll try my best to slap it on tomorrow

**Rooz** · 09-28-2005, 10:42 PM

**Rooz** · 09-29-2005, 05:07 PM
