Custom front towing-eye opening cover designed and physically installed by the creator on a BMW G32 6 Series Gran Turismo with the pre-LCI M Sport front bumper. The round face intentionally differs from the curved factory-painted flap and includes a removal notch and decorative BMW relief.

Mounting clip replacement for the BMW E46 kidney grill. The kidney grills are held in place in the bonnet through flexible lips, which become brittle with time and heat exposure.

Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Four-piece E36 bumper-inlet duct inspired by the Dinan layout and physically shown installed between the bumper opening and air filter.
