I'm an OEM plus type of guy, so the body mods don't do it for me - but I love the progress, it's been a great read! Keep it up dude.

Yeah, I go back and forth with that. My last car was OEM+, I decided to go crazier with this one. Thanks man.

I don't suppose anyone would like to share the CAD file for these to us UK boys so we can make our own?

Actually, I kind of like that I'm the only person in the world with this design. But it's not too hard to do, I encourage you to do your own design!

I may just have a go once the weather is warm enough here to lie on the floor ha ha.

Have you just used self tapping screws to hold them on, or are they bolted onto the sideskirts? Last thing I want is one to rip off on the motorway

Ruddigger · 01-09-2017, 10:55 AM

The sideskirt bolts aren't really bolts, you need to use your own screws. In that picture you can see all the holes for the screws. I ended up putting screws in about half those holes.

subbing - what beautiful work, brotha!

Ruddigger · 02-02-2017, 09:09 PM

Okie dokie, few things. First off, I broke my 1M bumper. My tires will hit on big bumps, and I didn't see a pothole in time. Shattered it at the fender mount and cracked it by the lower grill. I was not pleased. This bumper lasted 1 year, and was repainted once during that time. My lip held up well though, lol.

Took off the broken bumper and went back to stock. Sad times.

A member in San Diego had a 1M bumper for sale, so I made the drive, picked up the new bumper, dropped it off for paint the next day, and now I feel whole again. Lol

And today I installed my Dinan camber plates to avoid ruining this bumper too. 2° negative camber and no more rubbing on bumps. Well, not so far anyway.

McPikie · 02-03-2017, 03:36 AM

It's amazing the difference that bumper makes to the front end. So much more aggression.

Ya, it really transforms the car. Got the lip back on now.

ddub562 · 02-03-2017, 06:24 PM

Looks great Rudd. I've been wanting to fit an M-sport front bumper on my e91, how much does it cost to paint?

Ruddigger · 02-03-2017, 08:01 PM

3-400 usually. M sport bumpers look good, sometimes I think about switching.

Took a few pics this morning.

ddub562 · 02-04-2017, 03:09 PM

looks so much better without the front plate too.

Yeah, although I get pulled over for no front plate all the time. Got pulled over for it in Pasadena this morning, in fact.

Make up a tow hook mount so you can easily pop it off

Yeah, I Just get the ticket signed off and pay the fine. Speaking of paying fines, this was today. Might have something to do with all of those donut marks in the street.

matthewjmoser · 02-08-2017, 12:00 PM

saw the supersprint one which i can modify to fit to the stock mid pipe (so it says ). I still have my resonator in. i follow you on instagram. awesome build man.

Msportshqwn · 02-08-2017, 12:09 PM

Cars looking very well. Side skirt extras really suit it ��

I don't have any pics of it, sorry. the secondaries are just cut out and replaced with pipe, and 2 resonators are put in at the back of the midpipe just before the merge. It will all get redone at some point with nice mandrel bends at some point.
