What have you done with or to your M3 today?

DL335D · 02-10-2021, 09:09 PM

Omg! From now on I'm going to use fleece gloves to close my doors! You need to stop hitting the gym man, your hands must be like sand paper. 😂 are those claw marks on the handle?

That method should work the same for your door handle.

Take the door panel off, remove the remainder of the unpeeled material and cover with 3m matte vinyl wrap.

Paint is a separate option. You'll need to contact aeuroplug directly to set that up.

Let us know about fitment and how well the paint matches after you install it!

Tips- if you use the citristrip, get the aerosol. Don’t use the gel. Spray it on, give it 5 to 10 minutes and the coating wipes right off. Do the work in a well ventilated area. Rinse the parts, let dry. Spray the adhesion promoter, wait 10 minutes. Hit the part with 2 to 3 light coats 10 to 20 min apart. I used a heat gun on the lowest setting to preheat the parts slightly to help with adhesion and then lightly to help dry. I may experiment with a matte clear if I do it again to help prevent future scratches but given how quick and easy it is, and the materials left over, a respray would be a quick repair especially since i won’t need to strip the sticky off again.

Do you know if that method would work on this? I can't stand looking at this anymore.

I'm considering just trying to peel that stuff off.

Yes, it would work.

You can, and on the handles it might look fine. With it that shabby, you could probably use rubbing alcohol or honestly.. borrow your wife’s neutrogena makeup remover wipes, they work well on smaller pieces when the finish is already loose.

You would think that!

The M3 has been sitting, but I purchased a coolant flush kit, oil change kit, and some brake fluid for my future BBK upgrade.

Space Fox · 02-12-2021, 08:16 AM

Finally threw some new Future Classic front spacers on - fixed my vibration issues w/ my old Macht Shnell set..

Looks great! The FC spacers have been great for me.

Finally picked up a winter "beater". No more road salt hurting my baby.

Let the modding begin! 33" tires and a 2.5" lift coming soon.

Xterra is a phenomenal truck!

DL335D · 02-13-2021, 10:24 AM

^ yeah, I hope so. I've always liked them. I'm usually a fan of pretty much anything with fender flares. I was impressed with how hard it pulls. I wasn't expecting that.

DL335D · 02-13-2021, 06:45 PM
