My friend had a set of these (possibly new) he may have sold them to another friend. I’ll check and post here if available.

 

Thanks, Jonny!
appreciate you checking into that.

 

So…. I bought the guards for the z3 - I was able to get a set 2 years ago. Yes, the Mini ones have been NLA for years. I’ll be near the car next week. I’ll take a pic. I think they are fine ( I gambled based on wheel diameter, that the curve was close ).

 

I had them on my old r53. I shortsightedly tossed them when they started to warp. This is what they looked like on.

If someone has them and wants to donate a 1:1 scan from a copy machine and I’ll design a template so they can be cut from vinyl. Happy to share the template here.

I have aero skirts now, so I’m not sure what it’ll look like when it’s not butt up against black on 2 sides bht worth a shot. I was also thinking I could integrate a black line to run along the base of the door if I needed more continuity. It’s probably look a little more like the old ‘80s 930.

 

Bumping this up! Anyone have any luck finding them? Happy to pay

 

i did inquire with a friend who has a set new in package…but he’s in Canada, and figured you wouldn’t want to pay the thieves looking for tariff funds. Especially as you’re really just looking to template them.

 

I’m in Canada!
hook me up with him. Curious what he is looking for. Thanks for reaching out that’s super considerate.

 

Canadien eh…that might work. Let me check.

 

He’ll send you a message.

 

Thanks, Johnny! I appreciate you putting us in touch. Should definitely work!

 

That is the Z3 / and how it looks. I could not figure a way to trace it - I need at least a 11 x 17 paper.

To be clear, these are for example - not for sale.

 

Thanks for sharing, Noodles. I think with Jonny’s help I’ve tracked down a set that I can use to make a template of. As soon as I do, I’ll post it up on NAM.

 

Id love to buy a set too....I found them on https://www.roadstersolutions.com/page1.html

 

Nice find! $42.95 a pair isnt bad at all. If you look at Noodles’ car with them fitted, the contour around the vinyl doesn’t follow the same radius. It’s pretty close!

I’d still prefer the Mini version and don’t mind investing in getting done in vinyl. People can run them in clear or colors if they chose. It will be cheaper to reproduce, and the magnetic ones I had warped over time and trapped dirt underneath.

 

Ebay has a bunch of Vinyl version and a Z3 Magnetic set listed too.
I was contemplating getting the Z3 type and then using a stencil first to outline and then trace the mark with a knife to cut the side to match the contour better.
Some PPF might be a better option though.

 

As soon as I have the template for PPF I will share it here. If anyone wants a set when I make mine I’m happy to do a run and get them out at cost.

 

Thanks everybody, I never knew these existed, pretty fun! I'd love a copy of your template AirborneMini003, thanks!! Depending on what it looks like, I might be able to help make a batch with my vinyl cutter too if it helps. Thanks to everybody for chasing these down!

 

This is what community is all abooot.

 

What about making your own template with masking tape? Especially if you're going to modify for your aero skirts. I've seen masking tape used for making templates for body repair panels in steel, should work for vinyl also. Get the shape you like on the car in masking tape, then peel it off and scan it.

 

I think this should work. It won’t let me uploaded the file directly.

DM me if it doesn’t, I have it saved in PDF and .AI on a shared Google Drive, link below.

Nice work. I may do this in clear PPF

 

hey Johnny, does your friend still have them and is he willing to sell them? My fiancé is in Canada right now. I’m in California possibly she can bring them to me.

 

Thanks AirborneMini!!!! Yep, I got the files and they look good!! Do you already have a plan for making some? I’d be happy to whip them up for you for totally free and a handful of others for the cost of shipping, but it’s going to be a little bit till we finish moving and can set my shop back up. So up to you if you want to wait up to a couple months (and then I’ll also FINALLY get your stickers out too Jonny!! Sorry! &#129322

 

I have ones of them I am just sending back, but he didn’t want to sell them.
