BMW M140i How To Wrap The Crash Bars

[@erickonphoenix]

I had no idea I wanted to do this until I watched this video. Perfect match for the caliper covers.

[@NICKFOXTV]

Haha thanks!

[@CONEKZ]

I immediately went on eBay after watching this and noticed someone's used clips from your video to show how to fit the v bar covers 😀

[@realtorque]

Very tasteful mod! Something I was looking to do before I got rid of it. Looking forward to what this beast will look like in the years to follow!

[@NICKFOXTV]

REAL TORQUE thanks mate, hope you are enjoying the FK8 👍🏻

[@michaelmcpoet1]

A nice visual enhancement

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Those grills really are a pain to pull off. Good tutorial!

[@NICKFOXTV]

DownShift Throttle thanks Mo 👍🏻

[@gerryduggan6821]

Really helpful video, doing this to my 140 right away.

[@NICKFOXTV]

Thanks for watching 🙂

[@amelalisan3841]

Hi! Thank you for this video! It looks superb... I really like it! 2 questions I got for you: 1) can you send me a link from eBay where you bought it (or just tell me what to type in search bar on eBay) 2) how long did it take to take down the first grill?

[@steveo2009100]

Hi what size is the length on the bars and have u got a link we’re u got the vinyl from thanks

[@jdbug0madd0dogg]

Can you share link to eBay of the tape please

[@1996leonardo1996]

[@babber2536]

I got metallic paint my bmw , shall i go for glossy or matte wrap ? Also please could you send me the link you ordered them from ? Thanks pal

[@Arctica18]

Doing this myself tonight, great video

[@NICKFOXTV]

Thanks Vince, let us know how you get on!

[@brendan6093]

Do you know the diameter of the bars you wrapped, i can get some tape that is 50mm wide, however i don't think it will cover them completely.

[@bmwm3plays861]

I missed the LIVE. Sorry Man but i lefted a like

[@NICKFOXTV]

Haha not to worry, thanks for dropping by :)

[@alexflores5241]

Hey it looks great!! I have been trying to find a color that would match my calipers but no luck. The color you used is probably the closet to it. What is the name of the color you purchased?Let me know. Thanks.

[@NICKFOXTV]

I just looked for wrap on ebay and found one which looked close from the pictures. This was so long ago now that even if it did, I honestly can’t remember! Just have a browse on ebay 🙂

[@iancarr9134]

Very helpful! What make was the blue wrap?

[@NICKFOXTV]

Honestly can’t remember, was an ebay job and just looked for some that looked about the right colour!

[@jonathanhenty6614]

Great video 👍🏻 love the colour too. I’m just not 100% what colour I want for mine. What’s next for the car?

[@NICKFOXTV]

Jonathan Henty what colour is your car? Not 100%, few bits I want to do but we’ll see what the new year brings 🙂

[@jonathanhenty6614]

NFoxtv I’ve got mineral grey too. I just can’t make my mind up on a colour 😪

[@NICKFOXTV]

Jonathan Henty do let me k ow what you decide 👍🏻

[@bignae8845]

Mate I got a question. I got a paper/ ruberish type warp would the heat from the radiator cause damage or start a fire?

[@NICKFOXTV]

I’ve only ever used vinyl which has been fine!

[@5killzpro656]

Great work mate! 💯💥I would like to know if the vinyl stigs good after some weeks?

[@NICKFOXTV]

The car has had two owners since myself and the wrap is still on! Just bought another m140i and i’ll be doing the same again!

[@modelo4504]

Better to wrap or paint???

[@NICKFOXTV]

The wrap works really well, easy to apply and easy to revert. Painting would be so much more effort!

[@Laflash1]

What size wrap did you buy?

[@E36andE46vlog]

Nice detail!

[@NadimMusa]

I’m doing this mod but with red wrap

[@NICKFOXTV]

Nadim Vlogs nice, let us know when done I’d love to see it 🙂

[@cabetoescobar]

Nadim Vlogs did u do ur red wrap mod???

[@ave_3wenement30]

Where u buy wrap ?

[@jekaterinaandrejeva2246]

Can you tell me please from where you bought this crash bars tnx

[@NICKFOXTV]

The vinyl was from eBay 👍🏻

[@jdquad]

Great info and video Nick :-)

[@NICKFOXTV]

Thanks JD!

[@dlzmedia2792]

What do these actually do, the bars itself? Does it warm up or anything so it will peel off the wrap?

[@NICKFOXTV]

They are the crash bars, they don’t heat up and my original wrap is still on the car after 3 years!

[@dlzmedia2792]

@@NICKFOXTV What's the purpose? Something to do with crashing I'm assuming

[@Richardson1975]

Great Vid. What type of wrap did you use?

[@NICKFOXTV]

Just some stuff from ebay, nothing fancy 👍🏻

[@jamiealexanderhoughton6917]

Brilliant!! Thank you for making this video!! Big help =]

[@NICKFOXTV]

Pleasure, thanks for watching 🙂

[@lukedaniels6523]

Hi buddy where did you get the wrap from ?

[@D11AVW]

Thank you for this video bro, it helped me out big time 👌🏼

[@NICKFOXTV]

Absolute pleasure, glad I could help mate 👍🏻

[@rolandog.2212]

Great video. Where did you get the bug screen, between the V brace and the radiator? I have an F36.

[@NICKFOXTV]

Thank you 🙏 it is actually standard on the M140i from 2018 IIRC

[@prxybeats]

Hey Dude what is the low lip you got on your bumper? Awesome job, gonna do this soon on my 235i, will match perfectly the grey colour

[@NICKFOXTV]

AMIPRXY it’s the ksb splitter mate. More or less the same as the maxton one just cheaper!

[@jon2xmanuel]

I have the same color On my 440I GC, what size of vinyl did you buy?

[@NICKFOXTV]

jon2xmanuel i cant remember exactly, but you dont need much. An A4 sheet or two would probably do it. You could get a bit more just in case you need to re-do it for any reason though 👍🏻

[@FILMCREWProductions1]

Hi I want to do exactly this in that colour. What wrap did you use? I’m struggling to find any nice stuff in that colour.

[@NICKFOXTV]

I can’t remember the exact, I typed something like blue metallic on ebay and just picked one that looked close!!

[@FILMCREWProductions1]

Ahh nice cheers for the reply! How has it held up over the last 2 years of bashing winds?

[@petef7323]

Looks mint! Subscribed 👍

[@NICKFOXTV]

🙏

[@jza66]

Thanks for this. About to do mine

[@NICKFOXTV]

Pleasure!

[@thatsbenek]

Have you sold this now? And was it to a dealer in Swindon? If yes, think I just bought it...!

[@NICKFOXTV]

And now you’re selling 😞

[@Laflash1]

how does that cope with the water and all that?

[@Joshkemponcars]

Very cool informative video, nicely done buddy 👍

[@ronniemcintosh2937]

How flimsy are the grilles and rear diffuser when you're washing the car? I feel the grille is going to snap every time I'm cleaning it. Looks good though, would suit EB even better!

[@NICKFOXTV]

Haha I know what you mean, the cips etc are solid though, they certainly make you work to get the grills out 🙂

[@15october91]

Looks good.

[@NICKFOXTV]

15october91 thanks mate 👍🏻

[@Jp-bo6wi]

Can you please give us a link to the wrap

[@NICKFOXTV]

Hi mate, just have a look on ebay for vinyl wrap there is loads of it. Just find a colour you like and it is all pretty much the same! I went for a satin blue metallic which turned out to be a close match to the calipers 🙂

[@ClaudiuAdam]

can you drop a link of the ebay link to the wrap? thanks

[@NICKFOXTV]

Can’t remember the exact store 😞

[@lucamino6215]

From how much its the torx?

[@steve37ist]

It's anazing how them leaves have laid perfectly flat behind the second grill i would have got a hoover and tried to suck the leaves out forst before putting the kidney grills back on.

[@jaripham1802]

Wont the heat from the engine melt the wrap?

[@NICKFOXTV]

Jari Pham been on for nearly 9 months so far without any issue 🙂

[@streezzed]

Is it the same grill for all 2015-2019 bmw f20 ?

[@NICKFOXTV]

I’m not actually that sure tbh.

[@eddiek821]

The blue reflective tape looks cool aswell even better at night 👍.

[@seldinramadani9024]

Where did you buy this color

[@NICKFOXTV]

Just on ebay!

[@stevengeary4261]

Looks great but you forgot the leaves in the rad :-)

[@NICKFOXTV]

Should have seen how many were in there before I started 😂

[@Chutzpah84]

What a picture at the start

[@Chutzpah84]

I could have lent you some tweezers to sort those leaves out

[@NICKFOXTV]

Chutzpah84 haha cheers mate

[@NICKFOXTV]

What colour would you have gone for?

[@ejmsj94]

NFoxtv purple 😝

[@user-mh8mc3yn5d]

mine are red

[@robplant5576]

You can take the grills off with zero unscrewing/unbolting... It's really simple to do without lifting the hood either

[@daviddb1572]

how?

[@Arctica18]

Great video, I'll certainly have a play with some colours using this method. Thanks!

[@NICKFOXTV]

Thanks for watching and let us know when you are done 🙂

[@Dominik-om6pb]

Song please

[@steve37ist]

and thats why bmw charge you a fortune to change them kidney grills lol there really hard to get in and out lmao (i'm been sarcastic there lol)

[@m_b5891]

You can remove the kidney grille without unscrewing the bumper.

[@NICKFOXTV]

Marco R how did you manage that?!

[@m_b5891]

@@NICKFOXTV Already tried two times. You can remove the grille by pulling it firmly "but flexibly" .

[@NICKFOXTV]

Really?! I wouldn’t want to risk it myself!

[@m_b5891]

@@NICKFOXTV mate, you just have to make sure you pull the most on the base of the grid

You're car is SO dirty, you should be ashamed
