    I fucking love this car. I seriously can't believe this is the car in that pic above with the leaf on the grill! Ive had that picture on my comp screen loop for years. I must have seen this thread when I first started browsing this site.

    Im really glad to see you did all that work and kept the early bumpers. Looks fucking great!!!

            Either from Blunt or from BMW of Schererville. I ordered just about all of Klaus' Genuine parts from one or the other.

              Yesterday Klaus got a long-overdue wet sand, buff and polish, followed by a coat of Brazilian Carnauba. Here are before and after pictures of the hood after the buff stage:

                              I know one thing, that hood looks great. Now do the rest of the car. ;p

                                Might as well take the air dam off, trace the brackets, and then send them to me...while you're in there of course.
