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

[merl]

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

[YoungCR]

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

[merl]

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

[Brian.]

Excited! Looking good man. Keep it up!

Perfect birthday gift to yourself!  This thread has plenty of potential.  I love the look of those tails as well
