M3 skirts

I bought off these guys and the fit is near enough perfect. You'll never get a 100% fit retrofitting m3 sideskirts, but these are so so good I bet you, you wouldn't be able to fault it!

M3 style hood
I'm going to probably be doing the same but note, you cannot just buy an M3 bonnet and replace it with your existing. It doesn't work. You need a body shop to labour that and guess what, that costs, alot!

I've got a genuine M3 bonnet on mine and it pretty much fits i.e. unless you inspect closely it looks as if the fit is perfect. The two places it doesn't sit completely flush are above the front grilles and where the front wings meet the edge of the bonnet.

Also seen a standard E92 with M3 bonnet, didn't look that closely but it looked fine.

Yes indeed - pic below.



The bonnet itself was added by the previous owner with the receipt from BMW being included with the documentation for the car. I wasn't sure of it at first but I've since grown quite fond of it.

Thnx for the pic ! It does look good, only slightly off at the grill and above the lights. I think il get a quote off a body specialist to see if theirs any way they can adjust the hood to fit perfectly when i have mine done. Im fussy about the small imperfections in fitting but urs does look great. If you have any other pics plz do post em up from other angles so i can admire lol
