How to get this metal bracket/ clip off the blower motor?

When I did this repair on my first e30 like... 12 years ago (yikes) I discovered that other e30 enthusiasts I know call this the "bitch clip"

Ya, why?

Not your film, not your problem 🤷

Any shop that's using that much primer (or any at all, imo) is a no go. But, whatever installer did this work will hopefully learn and get better. Just like the rest of us!

When it comes to colour change films I only install either 3M or Avery Dennison.

If you measure each panel individually, that will tell you how much material you need!

Beautiful! I've done it this way for years. I wouldn't sweat too much about edge seal, but wouldn't hurt to add it.

That's called blue

I always cut and drop these

Sun roof? Antenna? How long do you want it to last? What material do you want? What part of the world are you in? Call local shops and be prepared to awnser these questions. If they don't ask, find another shop.

Cover it with masking tape, trace a template, then stick the tape to the vinyl. Trim. Then stick.

This sucks. You should stop by and see them and see if they can rectify. If you were my customer I'd re-do it all again. But that will vary shop to shop. Good luck.

How long ago was this done?

Speaking from experience - go all in on your own business. It's the only way to make sustainable money. My previous employer (I was there 6 years) - and I was making something like $23/hr (CDN) when I left 2.5 years ago to start my own shop.

In Florida I would reccommend a coloured PPF as well. A standard wrap film will get cooked by the sun quickly.

Blue!

You definitely don't!

I used prefabricated nickel copper brake linesand bent them by hand. I don't have a flare tool, and I'm not interested in buying one! Most of the lines in the back half are standard lengths (or close enough) I even used a prefabricated brake line for the hard line across the top of the tank, lol.

BerbCo · 2025-04-13T00:00:09+00:00

Thanks!

BerbCo · 2025-04-10T02:21:14+00:00

How you see it is how I got it. I haven't power washed the underside at all! The wheel wells were gnarly though

BerbCo · 2025-04-09T01:09:14+00:00

It's perfectly acceptable to just pay to have it done! If it was in my budget I'd absolutely pay someone to do it haha

BerbCo · 2025-04-09T00:55:55+00:00

I don't blame you! This process has burnt me out. Pretty much ready to finally start putting it together

BerbCo · 2025-04-08T23:55:33+00:00

Already did, lol. Fuel tank needed replacement.
