F30 328i/335i front bumper REFLECTORS removal / install DIY

Hey Guys,
Heres a quick guide to removing and replacing your front bumper reflectors.
Estimated time:
15-20 minutes
Necessary Tools
8mm socket
flat head screwdriver or plastic molding remover
Steps:
1. Locate the three 8mm screws along the front inner fender well.
2. Remove the three screws
3. Once all three are out pull the inner fender away from the bumper
4. Now your going to use a combination of the flat head screwdriver and your hand to pull the reflector away from the bumper.
*Note* do not allow the screwdriver to turn once it is between the bumper and the reflector as this could cause rippling in the bumper itself.
5. Now with the reflector removed you can clean out any remaining molding tape that is on the inner bumper. Also clean the inner bumper thoroughly before adhering the new reflector.
6. Remove the plastic from the reflector so the adhesive is ready then line it up through the inner fender. Once it is in place apply pressure both from the inside and the outside of the bumper to ensure a proper seal.
Now your done! The other side is exactly the same.
