can you show me a pic of what you mean? sounds cool to me and would probably make my car look a little bit lower lol....

One of my friends needed mesh and was too cheap to buy it, so he used some spare gutter guard the roofers left in his shed. It actually looks great!

use meths or as pure an alcohol as you can find and rub it on the 318 "ghost", it will take the glue right off.

mesh up thew bumper but other than that, nice and tidy. one of the nicest white ti's ive seen. keep up the good work!

methylated spirits. good stuff for removing glue. probably best to wait till its a warm day too. to heat the panels a bit.

Just go yo home depot. I think they sell meshing there by the foot. A lot cheaper than the automotive places too.

Sorry, I don’t have a pic of it. The "Splash Guard" as Bmw calls it is a plastic piece that attaches underneath the bumper and covers up the bottom so that you can’t see the ground through the bumper opening in the middle. It won’t make the car lower though, it’s basically just a cover. They only cost around $30 at the dealership.
