How to Wrap the Protection Bars of the BMW 1 Series

Model: BMW Serie 1 MK 2, F20, F21 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

An easy and impactful job: wrapping the protection bars of the BMW 1 Series. The protection bars are those mounted in front of the radiator. Why not make them more noticeable by wrapping them in a contrasting colour? The wrapping film costs just a few pounds on any e-commerce platform. Choose your preferred colour and then proceed as shown in the video. Remove the front seal and take off the front grilles. Clean the protection bars well, take some measurements, and cut the film. It will be very easy to wrap it around the bars. After that, just put the grilles and seal back in place. Your bars will now stand out nicely from the grilles and look very decorative.
