INSTALLATION of PAINTED BUMPER REFLECTORS

[Nuge Design]

Painter's tape at the top of the reflector then attached to the bumper. Best suggestion by far. Last thing you want is that rascal falling into the bumper black hole.

Were you ever able to get the reflectors to fit perfectly and not pertrude? I want to install these on my new M but don't want it to not fit properly....

Should be totally flush. There was a huge row about some Bimmian painted reflectors a while back, their fitment was apparently very poor. I know IND offers the best option by having painted reflectors that are painted over OEM. If you got them from Bimmian (or through one of Bimmian's distributors), chances are you'll have some fitment issues.

You can try pushing down on that corner a little, maybe the tab didn't go in all the way. Otherwise, it's probably poor fitment.
