You're driving around in the middle of a detail, or are you planning on washing again before the next round?

It has been waxed and product should be here at the end of the week, I will enjoy it and start fresh then.

Work in progress but I’m happy with it

RealJ22 · 06-02-2021, 12:58 PM

Those lower mesh grilles painted or stock black?

Very nice

If you remove the spring on the front of the hood release, the hood will sit lower at the front and close up that gap.... Probably not the best shot but you get the idea

I haven’t touched them, I like the black but I did repaint the Aero lip.

Thank you. I had a few days away from the car, now to finish everything up.

It sucks to figure out where everything goes and what things need to be replaced and so on and so forth. Also the front bumper ducts are a PITA so I have to modify them before mounting the bumper.

Getting all of the gaps perfect and the last parts sprayed black is the goal this week! Hopefully taking her home then.

That looks excellent, but I have the factory oil cooler. I think I’m just going to trim the factory parts. They fit much better.

Still need to install the csl trunk and m3 side skirts....

What do you mean? He has a stock oil cooler also, and those are OEM M3 ducts that he used on his M3 rep.

I also did the same on my M3 rep and used OEM M3 air ducts. I cut/modified them pretty similar to his setup and I also had a stock oil cooler

Sorry, I got a bit confused with his pictures.

From what I am seeing, he just has a hole going to the brake ducting. My factory parts have 2 separate parts that go to the cooler and the ducting.

My ducts for my aftermarket bumper look nothing like that. They mimic the factory on the passenger side, but do not fit at all. There are gaps around the cooler and I would have to run bolts to secure it.

The drivers side bolted on, but is too long and does not fit in the "Hole" what so ever lol.

Thats why I think I am just going to trim the front of the factory ones. I will snap some photos when I get back to the shop.
