I never really gave the flaps a 2nd thought tbh, but yeah it might look better without them.
I might take them off after the roads get a bit cleaner in spring!

Am I right in thinking Crimson red is exactly the same as Japan red?
Mine is listed as Japan on the sticker under the bonnet, I think the Imola red on E46's is the same too

Didn't get a change to fit the AE bulbs cause I needed to use the car.
Shame as the wheels were already off!
I should be able to get them sorted on Tuesday morning if its not raining

Looks great Dest. Sooo much better than the diamond cut. What's the colour of the wheels? Something you sorted yourself or is it a manufacturers body/wheel colour?

It's just the anthracite colour from where I got them done, no idea of its proper name.

The front already has spacers, they were originally on an E46 M3, no idea what the offsets are for those

5-10mm spacer on the front, 10 mm spacer on the rear and get rid of the crud flaps and you're there.

Ive just ordered some LED's for the angel eyes.
Other plans include a remap, light window tint, front bumper splitters and maybe some coil overs.
Regretably I sold the 335 exhaust stuff, but I can get that again at some point, but will probably leave it as it is.

This pic is what is spurring me on at the moment!

Sorry to jack your thread, i have just purchased a pre lci e91 recently and i would like the purchase this exact bumper. Could anyone ell me the brand/style/type of this bumper and where i can get one from please?
Your car is looking great with the wheels sorted
