What to do about Turbo flares.

[treys76bmw02]

Ok I have the money to buy the OE Flares and air dam. My question is this since BMW in there wisdom thought it would be a good idea to make all the flares except the front left one. What do I do? Who are the manufacturers out there. Is one brand better, fitment wise then the other. I have looked on the boards to see what other people are doing, and see they didn't get a answer. I looked at IE option and the price. I am trying to get my car done during the summer before I go back to school. Do I buy the stock damn and go with aftermarket flares? Thanks for your time

The nice thing about the Ireland flares is that they are a softer plastic.

If you bump or scuff them, or ram a wall at 105 mph, they deform

and then pop back into shape. If you paint them with flexiblized paint,

the paint doesn't pop off.

They will sell you individual flares. I agree, they're not cheap. But they

are well made and fit just fine, as they flex to the body very well.

What I have found,

There's no good reason that the LF is actually going NLA. I bet that they're just on back order. Let's see if CD or someone else here can look up the details on the Atlas BMW parts system.... I used to be able to but my friend that was a dealer tech decided to retire and his password is no longer active.

Yea I went to the dealer 4 months ago. They said they can get all but that LF one. I went again the other day was ready to buy everything I could to get my car ready this summer, Still not available.The guy said its not on the mainland, not in Europe and doesn't say when there will be another one.
