Got my ddm m3 front bumper, and the mesh that comes with it doesnt really seem to secure itself to the bumper. Anyone that has bought this bumper and found a secure way of attaching the mesh?

I used JB weld since I was having this problem as well. Which not only held my shit in place but also got a bunch all over my bumper :mad It's tiny but I notice it everytime lol.
But once I opened up the bag with the modings it came with, found JUST what I needed lol. The little metal holders are in there. Check it.

I drilled holes in my bumper and put zip ties through.
Those little nubs with the locking washers on them fail eventually, especially if you hit cones during autox... ask me how I know.

I wish they would listen to me and put those push clips in a bright orange bag or something.
For those of you buying bumpers from us or any source, look for the little tiny postage stamp sized bag with the clips in it.
If you have lost these, just call us and ask for them. We have literally thousands of spares. We'll mail you some. If you bought from another vendor or forum member and need some, they are yours for the price of postage.
I'm not kidding, I told the factory I'd like some spares, I bet they sent me 10 lbs of them. I must have 50,000 of them.

my little plastic wiener things didn't really line up with the holes in the mesh so i bent like half of em. It holds though. I'll probably zip tie it at some point.
still love the bumper though :)

leave it off do a fan delete and drop an aluminum radiator in there :) car will stay good and aluminum radiators look damn good with no mesh with the E36 M's

And buy an intercooler whether you have the turbo or not. +50 HP, 75 with stickers. :)

My DDM bumper installed perfectly! By the way Jim, I like the new signature! it's plain, simple and neat looking.
