I just took a look at mine - the stickers do overhang into the blinker opening by about 1-2mm's but there is still another 2mm's gap to the actual lens so everything fits perfectly.

How hard did you guys have to pull? I tried yesterday and couldn't get either side out... I can't imagine assembly being any different on E93, but I'm a bit scared to pull stronger as the whole fender is moving around when I do... I also feel that I do not really achieve anything squeezing on the top and bottom, doesn't feel like there's any give...

Man that was an unpleasant sound!!! Good tip on painters tape around the gill as I rebounded back and scratched the tape in few places, but paint remained untouched. All replaced and looking good! I found it sort of hard to get the inner black piece separated from the originall gill btw. I had to carve away some of the locking bump with my knife in order to get it free without damaging it.

What I like about the OEM black chrome is that matches our windows black chrome accents. So it matches perfectly. |

Fantastic write-up! The packing tape trick is pure brilliance. The hardest part of the entire install shifted to getting the electrical connector out, LOL.
Needless to say, this write-up and a pair of needle nose pliers for the connectors and I'm swapped out damage and frustration free in 10 minutes. |

tried this for hours, unfortunately I cant even budge it.
Also tried using plies to get more of a pinch going but still nothing. Looks like I will need to raise my car. |

this worked perfectly! i found the trick to be a little bit of up and down wiggling while pulling outwards. aside from that it was just a bit tricky to get the end cap part off the original gills.

excellent method....
this worked great!!!!! took me a lill time to figure out the amount of force needed but the other side was a breeze.......installed the black chrome gills ..had to use tape in 2 places....one near the door end as the OP mentions and one in the midsection to get some leverage for the wiggling...... came off easy after that......
the only thing....there appears to be a very slight gap running along the bottom border between the gills and the slots where they go in..... they are in place tight with no wiggling and/or shaking after install but the ever so slight gap is persistent....even after reinstalling them a second time......but nothing major.....thanks a bunch to OP for posting this!!!!! |
