Painted and installed Rocker Panel Blades

2015 M235i

I had them painted gloss black to match the trim, grille and wheels.

I like the subtle way they add a little aggressive flair!!

I know it's been a while but were there instructions that came with these? It's to long of a story to tell but trying to see if there is something I can do to fix a dealer fuck up.

It's not complicated, you clean the rocker well, use 3M adhesive promoter wipes, and stick them on. Then you drill and install the plastic rivets, although in my case I used real aluminum rivets instead. I am in Philly if you're local and want to check out my set and compare to whatever mess you are dealing with.

So I just got the car. It's an M Performance model. The graphics on the side skirts were damaged somehow and they just replaced them. When I picked up the car towards the front is slightly hanging down and you can see the double sided tape. The driver side is kind of the same but not as bad. It should be sitting flush. I'm going to give the dealer a shot at fixing it. I'm sure whatever tape they used wasn't prepped correctly or was just bad tape. I guess if they can't fix it correctly I'll be looking into possibly adding another rivet to close the gap.

Where did you buy them? Exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks
