It looks like you had them clean up and bondo your old cowl. Say it aint so.

What part do you mean?

Another quick update -

Had to order a few clips etc, and some of them broke - so theres been a delay with getting the skirts on. Being used, they also had a slightly twist in them, so they've been bonded as well - hence required some minor scaffolding! Apologies for the poor quality photos!

Just to guage some opinion from you guys -

I'm putting the 15inch BBS wheels on the car, but am still open to something different at some stage.

The other options are new OEM 16 inch Alpina wheels, or my preferred option is a full swap in of E30 M3 suspension components, and fitting the 16 inch BBS wheels. Anyone think the latter option is complete overkill?

Never overkill! Do it!

Cheers guys. The lads are doing a great job on it - am looking forward to seeing it off the ramp and on the BBS's! Or maybe I'm not - the suspension will be quite high :D

That color is absolutely stunning.

[Hick]

hot damn. i want that car

[Vtec?lol]

wow

[kdevitt]

Some more flattening and polishing going on! Put through yet another order for parts today as well - trim pieces, clips etc and the template to drill for the skirts.

Looks great!

A few more up to date photos - I'll be popping over tomorrow morning with some extra trim bits so they can finish up. Quite excited about it now - my new wheels will be going on soon too.

Have started gathering a few more parts for this now. Made my mind up on the wheels - and settled for 15 inch BBS cross spokes. They're in good condition, but will have them refurbished.

Have bought a set of mintex pads - will get new discs and calipers soon enough. May decide to go with a BBk up front at some stage, but stock brakes will do for now!
