I love majority of your pics socket but the last one looks really unnatural with the way the car is lit up. If you'd have used a more natural light source it would have looked 100 times better. Time to upgrade that batwing!!

Do you have to hack the m3 rep ducts to fit?

Just the part where it meets up with the fender liner.

I also made a hole with flap on the oil cooler side so I get air going there aswell

Thats a shame, you can always try the Plastidip idea.

Pity about the CF splitter - looked aggressive but nothing wrong with the clean M3 look either.

You'll like the Koni yellows, I suspect - I do on mine. If it is any assistance, the Koni fitment guide advises this:

"If the car has performance upgrades (springs, wheel/tire packages, etc.) or the driver wants the car a bit more aggressive, most people find the optimum setting in the 1/2 to one full turn from the full soft range."

I set mine 1 full turn initially (f & r), played around with different settings and ended up back there in the end (on Eibach Prokit).

Thanks the the tip JJ... the konis are such a big improvement, I really was surprised the difference in ride. Its probably because the ride on 100K+ old shockies was pretty ordinary to start with.... btw how do you go about adjusting the firmness?? I had them professionally fitted so didn't get the instruction manual

No worries Socks! Here are the adjustment instructions - the fronts on ours are Series 8741, rears are Series 82 > http://www.koni.com/car-racing/technology/adjustment/

For the adjustment starting point, look under 'Adjustment' on the FAQ page > http://www.koni.com/car-racing/technology/faq/. In the end, it comes down to your set-up preference with your H&Rs.
