New Body Kit

kenken · 07-11-2010, 09:54 AM

Hi everyone!
I am new here, just got my car last wed and i wanna do some body modifications.

I was at Ecarboy earlier today and was looking at their M3 Body Kit.
Was just wondering if anyone tried here and would recommend it or you have another place that is better or cheaper.

Thanks in advance!

BimmerJack · 07-11-2010, 11:13 AM

I assume he's driving an E92
Coz i haven't seen any E90 M3 conversion on the street in HK yet

I've seen a Black M3 E90 LCI on the street

Well I've heard Top<ix in Kowloon City has a good range... tehy'll be relatively cheap in the sense that they're all copies and original... but then again body kits are kinda non-functional so guess it doesnt' matter that much.

Personally I think you can consider ordering yours straight from the manufacturer and get it shipped to HK... with the EURO so weak its actually relatively cheap.

Thats what I did.... but it is more hassle.

glad you found your stuff. too bad there ain't any M3 bumpers that fits e90 3 series. I find the original M3 front bumper looks about the best. ( wont mind adding in that Vorsteiner splitters)

Cant comment on this because i didnt wait the 6 weeks and did it at top r@(?ng which sucks badly!
Now they have refunded me cash for the front bumper because they couldnt replace my parking sensor and most importantly get the fitment right!

I would seriously not recomand that place to anyone!! they promised heaven and earth but once you drive your car away they forget everything....

Ken Ken, Sorry to hear yr bad experience.....perhaps, shouldn't save the $$ but paying some more bucks to build the original one!! In terms of bodykit workshop quality, HK is still considered as very old school or even uncivilized comparing to N. America!! As such, you may have to buy the front bumper replacement piece somewhere else in matching with your side skirts, rear bumper M-Tech look!!
