BMW M3 Edition Black Chrome Side Gills DIY Parts
Tools Required
Installation Install Time: (less than 10 minutes.) Before you begin:
Installation Step 1. Remove OEM chrome side gill Apply packing tape to the end closest to the door (ie. the part pointing toward the rear of the car). To apply the tape, pull a long strip of tape and tape the ends to the top and bottom of the gill then press the tape together. Assuming you are working on the driver's side (left) gill (you will do the opposite for the other side): Step 2. Do not drop the wire behind the fender Tilt the gill out of the fender to expose and pull it out. Before you disconnect the wiring, use some painters tape to tape down the wiring so that it doesn't fall behind the fender. If it fall behind the fender you will extend your install time MUCH MUCH longer trying to fish it out. Once the wire is secure and you know it won't fall behind the fender, unlatch the wiring harness plug from the gill. Step 3. Install new gill Finally, the easy part! Plug the wiring harness into the new side gill then insert the larger end of the gill into the fender and line up the mounting points. Simply press the gill into the mounting points till it's flush. You are done! Below is a comparison of the OEM chrome gill vs the new OEM M3 Edition black chrome gill |
