As some of you know, my car went in on Monday for a little paint work.

I had a 1 inch square of paint missing on the bonnet, stone chip that the heat then tuned into something very nasty. Also some nice go faster strips left by Ali's garage door, coming down on my car!!!

All my good freinds had also bought me a ACS rear lip, so that was going on.

Got the fog rings done, the front bumper painted, painted the oem intake cover, and splitters glued properly.

SO she should look pretty good, I am going to buy some silver inserts in for the head lights, some of you don't agree, but I am sure it going to look sick, as it will flow with my side repeaters. If it doesn't then, hey just put the black ones back on. Check this out.....

That's not his bumper. That's "AlanL"'s car from E46fanatics. He has an OEM M3 bumper custom mounted onto his sedan. As it's an M3 bumper, he has straight fitted on an ACS CF lip with the struts.

Dig's has the Clubsport splitters that you can just see in his sig.

Teddy is offering an integrated M-style bumper with moulded ACS Style splitter. It looks awesome and can't wait to see it on someone's ride

My splitters are off the car ;)

that's about covered it.

As for the rims, they're staying on the car. I'm going to be dropping about £1k on ICE within the next 2-4 weeks so watch this space ;)

Nick, looks like its going to be tom now, she's all finished, but my guy said he wanted to keep it over night because they just bonded the ACS lip and splitters.

Once I get her back have to fix the halo's, then yup next step is the leather, there is a place near Bexley that do it, but would like to find somewhere much easier to get to.

Try them, they are used by the Ferrari Owners' Club and actually come to your place to re-condition your leather seats.

Is the spoiler gonna look moulded on then? Thought u were just going to tape it and glue the splitters?

I would think bonded = glued and not moulded. Though if it IS moulded then Durgesh will become uber-pimp :D

what kind of glue did you use to glue your splitters with now?
and how many screws did you put underneath it?
just bought the splitters, gonna get them painted then i'll put them on, but just want to find out the best way to fit them on securely.

If I remember right, there are 3 screw points on the splitters I used all 3 on each side.

Up till now, I have just used the screws to hold them on, but car should come back with the splitters glued on.

Glue, use P1, I got it with my ACS rear lip, and it what's all the boyz recommend for this sort of work.

I got here back today, looking sick.

They forgot to do the fogs rings, and under the hood thingy, also I have few extra touches coming my way through fas this weekend, so I am not going to post pictures till she is finished. As this will be the last work I do to the bodywork. I think by wednesday latest pictures will be up.
