OMG, just leave it there...Me dont like it like that...tooo plain like that. The reflectors add up an extra edge to the side of your car.

Looks great!!! So much better without those amber reflectors. I have a set ordered for my E92... Just need to get the car and make it happen.

What was difficult about taking the ambers off? Was heating them a problem???

i heated them up as much as possible w a hair dryer but you really have to pull hard on that back of the reflector, my whole bumper was bending, finally they just kind of started to peel of with enough heat and elbow grease

Looks great! -- regarding the bumper bending, be careful people, the side closer to the wheel that the reflector is attached to is real thin and flimsy.

-- I decided to use an old credit card (harder ID card will do), to get in between the bumper and doublesided tape.

After heating up with a blow dryer briefly, i slid the plastic card behind the bumper in between the tape and reflector and was able to just slide it along the tape and pulled off the reflector with minimal bending of the bumper.

yeah that is a good idea be careful definitely cause that particular section of the bumper is very flimsy the credit card trick would have been much easier
