Any luck getting clearer picture? Looks pretty good!

Is the front similar to LTMW's widebody kit?

The fender design is really close to the WTCC kit but bumpers are different, especially the rear.
Gonna day plate it this week and I will get some better shots after I get a few inches of dust off

After reviewing both, I'm liking the Hard Motorsport kit alot more.

I wonder if it would work with an M3 rep bumper. I'd love to put this kit onto my e91

A note on the Hard Motorsports page says you can get it to work with an M3 front bumper but it will require trimming to sit flat.
Not a big deal if you are preparing to cut up your fenders anyways

I spoke with Hard MS as well and this kit is only designed for the PRE-LCI M-Sport or can be modified for the M3 Rep bumper. It WILL NOT fit LCI M-Sport bumpers. They said the flare out around the fog lights on the LCI M-Sport front bumper makes fitment too tough.

soursamo did you get the front fender flares to match up ok with the M3 side Skirts?

If you look at the bottom you can see a small gap on the side skirt, the flare is meant to lay flat but not in the M3 skirts.

Forgive me for the stupid question - but is trimming/cutting the stock fenders necessary with the Hard Motorsport kit?

Certainly.
The reason for cutting is to fit wheels that are going to fill the kit.

On their website it's clearly stated the kit was inspired by the WTCC kit.

For anyone on the fence about this kit: this is easily the best combination for a quality kit at a fantastic price!
Can't wait for spring to get out on track

Im sure its not the smartest decision, but how bad of a time would I have with this kit on a daily? Obviously it would vary from person to person but was just curious as to exactly how much of a difference would be noticed.

Thanks!

Why would it be any different?
As long as you have clearanced whatever wheels you are running it would be no different than stock.

Only real update is where the bumper meets the fender; I found that when jacking the car up it would cause extra pressure on this join and sometimes the fender would pop out.
I added a small metal plate behind the fender and the bumper piece to strengthen this joint.

You're right lol, for some reason I always had this idea in my mind wider cars would be more of a pain on a daily basis. Thanks for the insight, planning on picking the kit up relatively soon!
