Very simple DIY, but HAD to happen: Changing the orange reflectors
Hey yall!
I wanted to share my latest DIY, though of course it is very very simple with the M2 which is rather nice. You dont even have to take off the wheel well liner for once, as the back of the reflector is immediately accessible! It was really nice to get these changed out, and the quality of the paint job from IND Distribution is dead on.

I know right? When I upgraded the front bumper cover on my F32, I went with the euro styled M sport design, so it didnt even HAVE the reflector cutouts whatsoever.

The heat from tracking the car is melting the glue, I think, causing my IND reflectors to come loose. About to have to order another set. These aren't nearly as bad as replacing the rear ones though!

I've never understood the hate over the orange reflectors, and I'm a virtual slave to aesthetics. But hey, to each their own.
Great video though, well done. |

The first owner of my car only had it 9400 miles, but she didn't get PPF, so the bumper has lots of little issues. Once this COVID shit is over and I start making some real money again I'll buy a euro bumper and have it PPF'd before it goes on the car. |
