Cheers guys!

Unfortunately I'm having more issues with the paint. The front isnt finished yet, and I've just noticed acouple of impurities with the rear bumper today when i went to install it. So I'm taking it back as well and they'll have alook at it tomoro :-x

So now I'm driving a bumperless e30 and waiting for possible another week or two to get everything back from paint. FUCK

Dropping the car off for PDR on some hail damage tommoro, but I'm sure that will take longer than expected. I just hope they do A good job on it. ARGH I just want to get everything done!

Absolutely love your car. The color is just amazing. Can't wait to see it all put together...it's gonna be tight!

UPDATE.

Well I picked up the front thismorning. MUCH better, It looks really nice in person, and mounting it was really straight forward (except for the foglights but they weren't too bad).
I mounted the sideskirts yesterday. I used 3m double sided tape along the top instead of the OE plugs that I ordered. This meant I didn't have to drill into the body several times. I used brand new OE hardware for the bottom of the skirts and the whole front airdam.
Overall I'm pleased with the sides, but there is room for improvement. Drivers side (real) went on pretty easy and sits very tight, passnger side (fiberglass) was a fucking waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles to get on. It's pretty good now, and you can't tell which is which not, But I will always see the differences that noone else will..

The rear will have to wait a week or two as I've orded some mounting harware I must have overlooked in my previous order. For now I'm rocking it bumperless

Anyway I suppose you'd like a couple of pictures:p:









I have the sticker for the front, just havent put it on yet



enjoy!

I love everything about this car,and those wheels are especially great! Been browsing Australian ebay for weeks trying to find some. Definately one of the best looking e30s anywhere. :up:

God damn that looks dope. Love the rustic quality of the photos too.

[SaskE30]

God do I ever love M-TechIs, awesome project and I love your wheels!

[JamesE30]

I finished the splitter I was making and mounted it with 9 countersunk m2 bolts. I'm pretty happy with it, and it's already saved my skin a few times.

Doesn't like driveways:





Received the last of my hardware from blunt and finally mounted the rear bumper!







I used some "T" profile rubber stripping for the "mtechnic synthetic strip" that is NLA. It spaces out the top of the bumper trim (which is OE mtechnic) to fit the mtech kit properly.



mounted!
