Diy: Carbon Fibre S2 Foglight/indicator Surrounds Install

[PM-R33]

Here is a quick DIY on how to fit the PSI Parts carbon fibre foglight/indicator covers that I organised to get made in this group buy:

The install is very easy and only requires basic tools and basic mechanical skill.

TOOLS REQUIRED

12mm spanner

Philips head screwdriver

Flat head screwdriver

First of all use a 12mm spanner to remove the two bolts that hold the entire housings onto the front bumper:

You will find the two bolts located in these positions:

You will need to remove it out at an angle because there is a clip on the outside that holds it in place and also remove the electrical plug.

There is 6 screws that hold the cover onto the housing, remove these screws:

Now simply remove the cover and put the new carbon covers on (with one of my covers I found that the factory screws were a bit to thin to be used on the new covers so I simply purchased some slightly thicker ones). If the screws don't perfectly line up with the mounts, just use a flathead screwdriver to gently push them into position. They shouldn't need much of an adjustment though:

Put it all back together in the reverse process and you are done

I'm very happy with how they turned out and the fitment is virtually perfect. The carbon weave is gorgeous and it definetely gives a unique look to the series II factory front bumper.

Cheers

freaking sweet!! every time i see your car it has more tastfully placed carbon top notch.

main thing ive been looking at doing is replacing the orange lenses with some clear ones and orange bulbs. would make it look even smoother. but the design of the two peices makes it alot more work than it should be considering theyre the same diameter

*just read the group buy thread. seems like you guys beat me too it

still got the spare set of carbon surrounds??
