Hi does anyone know where I can get hold of the red insert strips for the front and back bumpers on my M3?

Cheers

Try your local sign makers, they will have loads of differant shades of red vinyl, just match it up and get them to cut it to width and lengh you require... job done :thumb:

As far as I know, it's a dealer only job.

51 14 2 233 023 - Rear (approx Ԛ£29)
51 14 2 233 024 - Front centre (approx Ԛ£8 )
51 14 2 233 025 - Front left (approx Ԛ£10)
51 14 2 233 026 - Front right (approx Ԛ£10)

These red trims are spec'ed for Sport Evo models only, so may require a chassis number before they will order them.

Ian.

I got original ones form C3 in south london for about Ԛ£40ish or maybe a bit less than that. 3m make the strips. You can buy some 3m tape that is exactly the same but is not cut to fit exactly. the width is the same though.

When you say 3m tape do you mean normal electricians tape or is a special one? If so where could I get it

thanks

3m is a manufacturer of all manner of adhesive tapes...available from numerous sources.

Give http://www.suretech.co.uk/ a try, they seem quite reasonable. Tell them what sizes you want and send them a colour and they'll even pre cut it for you.

:D
