Ok fellas, I got 2 questions.

Question 1.) Can anyone point me to what this piece is called or the part number? Its the black piece that covers the spare tire area inside of the opening.


M5 Rear Question-m5_under_carriage_pic1.jpg
It's the piece in the upper part of the opening. As you can see it covers the spare tire compartment.

Question 2.) You can see there is also a support bracket that mounts under the spare tire area (with the 5 vertical slats in it) and it connects to the rear bumper for support. I can not figure out how to attach this bracket to the bumper. It seems that it is meant to attach to the reinforcment ring that goes around the edges inside of the opening, but for some reason the tabs do not match up. I know this sounds confusing, but any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Phi

Oops.
Frank regarding question 2, that is the piece that I can not seem to make it connect to the bumper. But the piece that I was looking for is not that piece as I have it already. Its the piece inside the opening that covers the spare tire compartment.

Not sure if it would be #7. That part looks like the other undercarriage piece following the one with 5 slats.

Hmm... Hopefully someone who has done this rear conversion and chime in as well.

Alright Phi, let me help you,

M5 Rear Question-m5udrill.jpg
This photo, is where the plastic piece attaches under the spare tire and you drill three holes into the spare tire area.

M5 Rear Question-m5open.jpg

This is the pieces that connects with the long plastic piece I spoke about / above picture.



This pictures is Ed (JordanJunkee23's) car.
M5 Rear Question-borla_quad_exhaust.jpg

you see how that plastic piece is drilled into the spare tire, that is how you do it.

And I believe that plastic piece is #14 or #15 in that realoem.com diagram.


I'll try to take pics tomorrow so it can be more clear, but the long plastic piece (14/15) attaches to the opening piece and clicks in. You will also need some screws for it to go stay on.


Let me know if you need more help.

Last thing,

The pic below / circled, I broke this off so that there are no clearance issues because it sticks out under the spare tire area.
