M-sport front lip bubble

tony77298 · 07-21-2018, 05:40 PM

Hello ! Purchased a m sport lip for the F30 from Proautomotion. Instructions, fitment and instal was really easy however after instal I noticed a bubble on the driver side of the car. I was told to try to apply heat however that did nothing.

I can put up with it until I pick up a genuine lip however anyone have any ideas as to how to fix before hand?

Thanks

More than likely your double sided tape on that spot is not holding. Others have fixed this with putting screws through. I had a small spot like this and just put in better 3m tape and it's fixed.

I have a detailed thread on this problem, it's common with aftermarket lips. Similar to the gentleman above I actually made holes across the back side and used zip ties to reshape the curvature to the correct design.

I had the same issue. I just replaced it with better 3m tape and then I wedged something in between and let it sit for a few hours and it was fine.
