Dude. This is gold for me. I’ve got the same lip on my E36 and it is smashed in the same spot almost identical damage. Thanks for the DIY!

@throtl 7 лет назад

+M3MPHISMIKE of course, that's why we do it man. Glad we could help you out!

If the plastic can melt you can pretty much weld the back with other plastic and heat. Thats how u fix punctures in plastic bumpers

@antpro-qb7xl 7 лет назад

thank you for the video! i have very little experience but i think using that scoring technique with a hot knife may actually be more effective, just make sure you don't go all the way through, but this way you actually have some melted abs stick together to help support the epoxy!

Good suggestion. There are always better/different ways of doing things but we try to focus on keeping things simple and utilizing average tools that most car guys have laying around. Thanks for your support.

Do a Diy Paint process on the same lip would be a cool video next. Primer, sand, paint, then gloss process.

As always, Mickey saves the day. You guys either need to pay him or give him a raise. Maybe some Cinnamon Rolls from PB. Everyone loves those.

This will hold decent but not a professional repair..if you have the access to a plastic welder w/mesh backing or plastic staples (for broken bumper tabs) and a 2 part plastic repair with adhesion promoter. Use the 2 part because it'll flex with the part, filler will not flex and crack/break off. Prime block and paint! It'll hold great. *yes there's more than 1 way but in my experience (professional autobody tech) this is the best way

Right!

Any tips on repairing a carbon fiber front lip? Mine is scraped and not cracked so not sure if repair would still be applicable here. Also I'm not sure how much it is scraped, but I believe it is just a chunk of the clear coat.

I had this happen on my old M3 and I zip ties it together! This is actually a better method! Great video guys!

@throtl 7 лет назад

Thank you!!

@BimmerTV 7 лет назад

Bonus points for the zip tie fix though. My brand new front bumper now has a zip tie fix after flooding caused a crazy pothole on the highway that met up with my 135i...

@jsa8368 5 лет назад

question.. what kind of adhesive did you use on the lip to attach back on the bumper?

@kylehewitt9271 4 года назад

js arne bolts

@82werk72 7 лет назад

You can also use Lego to repair plastic. I have done it on my motorcycle fairings.

@BimmerTV 7 лет назад

Haha, awesome tip!

@BimmerTV 7 лет назад

@pinotgrizio3567 2 года назад

I’ve had to do this almost 5 times in 2 Years. Never drive a car with a low splitter in Texas

@zeeDeveel523 7 лет назад

Hey Evan, awesome and informative video as always! Also, what paint did Mickey use? I like the semi gloss finish on it!

My splitter hasn't cracked... It has rubbed away at the front from pulling in and out of parking lots... How can i fix that?

@JOEGGGJOE 7 лет назад

Should of used son kind of reinforcement screening in the back of the lip. There really isn't any reinforcement support. The same thing may happen again.

@damocles4744 3 года назад

Inevitably it’s a fiberglass splitter that’s pretty low to the ground. My splitter was 5 inches off the ground on my cts. A random ass rabbit popped up going 80 on the highway which is the reason I’m watching the video😂. It Sucks because I had it painted gloss black but I’ll just end up wrapping it to cover the missing paint.
