How did you remove the old rivets?
**Took what amounts to an Ice pick on the center of the rivit and tapped it in. THen used my pry tool (looks like a large flat head screw driver) to pry it up and the old rivet pops out.
My rivet tool does not fit inside the wheel well unless I take off the rear wheels. Did you have to do this also?
**Yes. I jacked up the rear and unloaded the suspension (let the wheel hang) and was able to get to it.
I have 4 black plastic pieces (not rivets) that I have no idea where they go. Did you get these pieces in the kit?
There were several parts that I have not used. My BMW mechanic friend said they are extras. You will see the parts needed in the instructions.
Could you post the instructions please?
**Will post later this evening or in the AM.

Mail me if you get stuck :)

Tim
