Side gills and sticker issue
I just bought a set of gloss black side gills and pair of OEM M3 stickers for them. Well, it appears The M3 sticker wont fit into the placement area for the sticker. My sticker is 1-2MM too long.
Im told that all aftermarket gills come from the same company so how are you guys dealing with the sticker not fitting? Are you cutting it? If so, does it bubble, fray or cause any issues doing so? https://imageshack.us/a/img836/5654/img2871bj.jpg https://imageshack.us/a/img22/6526/img2868g.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img37/8091/img2869bv.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img4/2962/img2870jf.jpg

If the sticker doesn't fit, then the gills are not worth installing. Sounds like a cheap part.

I had the same problem as you on a pair of aftermarkets. I thought about cutting the sticker to make it fit but then I realized they were junk. I sent them back and then gave IND a call. Problem solved. |

BMW makes gloss black grills called "performance grills" but they don't offer a performance gill set. To get matte or gloss gills, you are forced to buy aftermarket.

I ended up having to dremel out a bit of inner plastic and force the lighting unit as far back as possible.
