Hi guys!
As subject says, does BMW provide only the "glass" (it's plastic) ?
I think not..
And if will find the glass on internet, could the dealer unmount my glass and replace it ?
Thanks, bye!

Keith_84_uk recently posted this thread about wetsanding the headlights. This guy is a detailing genius in my eyes so I don't think you'll have any problems following his instructions.
