335 Project Resurrection, Before and after *Updated*

DHAIGH90 · 01-17-2017, 09:57 AM

Finally got round to following up initial thread by posting some final fitment pictures.

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1332667

Overall happy with the finish...been a month of stress, blood sweat and tears...
Mechanical work carried out by local garage, nothing major as I missed crash barrier by literally 1inch (Lucky)...
Oil cooler was Fubar and a few offside suspension components bent.

Please with the outcome for the bodywork, not perfect but I fitted personally, no major issues only one annoyance being the wheel arch lines, they don't match up 100%, fitted the OEM 1M air scoops and original Msport grill.

Finishing, touches sprayed by a friend!

Shoutout to my mechanic, sprayshop, and my boy Chris for loaning me his garage for the duration!

Never was a fan of that 1M bumper, but it sure does look good!

Good job, OP. It's a goal of mine someday to save a crashed car that I really like just for the fun of it.

Majority of the mechanical work my local damage as they have a 4-pillar ramp ,

Bodywork and everything associated myself,

Paintwork a friend owns a paintshop

Another cool idea in my opinion, is making those side mirrors black and maybe the roof.

Hmm, bumper fitment seems slightly off. The gap up front (under hood) seems slightly too large and it pinches in on the right front fender a little.
