    Bottom of the drivers fender behind the wheel is worse than I thought. I am trying to figure out a way to band-aid it for this year as I am not doing body work besides trim paint and what I had to for the bumper install. 

    If you find a way, LMK. my passengers side is bad as well! post pics once that front spoiler gets to ya'!

      Aw man now I feel like I need euro bumpers! looks sick.

      Brian the body roll is gnarly. My "new" car has a much sportier setup (Bilstein sports, ST springs and sways, strut braces) so I am hoping it will be a littler flatter.

                    Happy Happy birthday indeed! Is that a reproduction? or does the oem bumpers come in white?

                      Spoiler is a reproduction and in primer.

                      I bought the bumpers from someone else that had them spayed alpine white for his car but never installed them so they are new but generally come in primer or chrome...

                      Both the bumpers and spoiler will be sprayed body color

                        Gotcha. All the oem stuff now is painted black primer.

                          bumpers may have been black when originally ordered. Although they did come from BMW - South Africa so who knows... 

                          Just ordered another chunk of stuck from Blunttech .... I am so glad I am not keeping track on this build
