Remove Carbon Side Winglets?
So I'm selling my M2 and have started removing all the bits and pieces of carbon
Diffuser and spoiler where easy but now I'm stuck on the side winglets I didn't install them so I can't mentally backtrack on the procedure I read the installation instruction file and apparently the winglet installation involve both rivets and betalink. I have no idea if the guys at BMW actually used it though. While I could use a drill to remove the rivets, I'm a bit weary on how to approach the betalink. From what I've read it's pretty much permanent glue.. This said, can anyone that successfully installed them or even better remove them give me some advice on what I should do? It's like two grand of carbon just sitting there, kinda a bummer if I am forced to leave it there |

How long would it take to get to USA from N. Korea? do you have to get a blessing from Kim Jong Un to ship your M2 parts out from your country?

Pretty sure he's not actually in North Korea.

You'd first need to put the car on a ramp before being able to access the winglets properly After that, you'd need to find a way to get those rivets out (probably a drill) Thing is, if betalink was used, you're pretty much going to rip off the paint surface and then you'd be damaging the car |
