E93 front end respray or bodykit

I have no idea if this is in the right section so don't flame at me but here goes, I've got an 07 E93 335i in individual aegean blue flavour. its done a tad over 90k and the front end is ruined, there are stone chips and scratches galore all over the front bumper, hood, and to some extent the fenders, I don't have pictures but it's depressing especially when I spend hours cleaning to not be impressed by the front.
So here goes my options, I can either have the front end resprayed to get it back looking minty, throw in some new headlight lenses for good measure, or option 2, get the prior design PD-M widebody kit installed and sprayed up. The PD-M gives a slightly wider track than a standard M3 (only a few mm in it) but it looks mean. With both of these options I'd want paint correction done on the rest of the car to get it all real nice.
I don't particularly want to get into the whole 'it's not an M3 why make it look like an M3' debate, the car will have any M logos on the fenders blanked off and will retain the 335i badge, not making a replica car here. Price isn't a pushing point with this either obviously the widebody will be more expensive but it really would set the car off I think.
Any feedback welcome guys just don't all jump on the hate train at once!

UPDATE

Now my rear bumper and side skirt on the near side need repainting thanks to some assholes in a car park at the weekend, huge paint split and peel on the rear bumper and 2 spots of missing paint and roughed up plastic on the skirt. Any opinions anyone??
