    Plastic Surgery

    Finished swapping the diving boards out for plastic bumpers. The front is almost done for now. I need to pull the Rieger lip off and refinish it. The rear is waiting on a Hartge apron that was supposed to be shipped 3 weeks ago.

    On the front I replaced the full valance, fogs, lip, bumper, and shocks. Rear replaced the bumper and shocks.

          Not sure on the rims, bought them off here. 17x7 correct offset and hub. THink they are ebay specials, but I like them on there.

          Suspension is H&R sports and will be putting the billy sports from the M3 on next month.

                        Thanks! Fogs were an old cracked pair that I had. Removed the lenses and replaced them with acrylics.

                        I have the non-chrome mouldings for the sides to go on but need to buy the clips. Then I plan on smoking my extra set of elisoids and putting them on.

                          Looks exactly like my front end, only you had to do a ton of work to get it that way. Shows how good of a job you did. Only difference is you have the front license plate trim. I've been looking for one of those...anyone care to tell me where or P/N? lol, thread jack.

                              are you running the same suspension all around? because i thougt its better to run bigger springs in the back because of the extra weight.
