Exterior 3rd Gen Most liked posts in thread: Installing F56 Side Scuttle Accents

Just ordered side scuttles accents from eMINIparts. Price was great, can't wait to receive. I am kind of new to the site, and did not connect eMINIparts as a sponsor and, as a result, did not go to the site for my side view mirror caps (black and grey checkered flag). Now that I know, hope to bring my business there often. Thanks again for advice

 

Thanks for the advice on the 3m tape. That's the way I'll go.

 

Well, the scuttle accents are installed, and it was rather an easy job, thanks to the advice of some other f56 owners. Below are two pics.

 

So, scuttles accents arrived. Scuttles popped out very easily. Dry fitted in scuttle accents. Just to be clear, the 3m tape or glue will be the only thing holding the assembly in place... spring clip on top side of scuttles and clips on bottom do not extend far enough to clip to side of car fender once the scuttle is clipped to the accent. Am I right? Thanks for feedback. Also, the tape I got is called 3m super strength molding tape (says its for moldings, rocker panels, emblems, cladding). Does that sound right? Tape pic below.

 

Thanks guys. Haven't personally seen the surround accents anywhere. The install seems straightforward, but don't want to damage paint with the strong adhesive recommended if I decide to remove them at some point. Maybe I'll just use 3m two sided tape. Well, I think I'll roll the dice. Would love to see more detailed pics. The ones online photos are just close ups and don't give enough perspective for me. I'll post pics when / if I install.
