Is there anyone with experience with the Breyton add on from bumper? I haven't been able to find any instructions and there are some areas where I have some concerns about mounting. It would appear as though I have to "cut" some of the old bumper to get the Breyton to fit and I want to make sure that its the right thing to do. Anybody know how to do this?

Thanks, Jim

Thanks, it appears as though I got smoked! I bought it from Trinity and it is not a Breyton lip but a Breyton "style" lip.

The quality is not very good and the fit-up will take a lot of work to make it look like it belongs on a BMW. Further, there was no mounting hardware, no instructions, no templates, NOTHING.

Its my bad! Let this be a warning to all members to do lots and lots and lots of research. Deal only with a reputable and DIRECT marketer and do lots and lots of research.

To my experience, TRINITY is a VERY reputable vendor, I fail to see how this is their fault!!
