Front end respray

[mattCSLnut]

Great attention to detail. The big question is when is she going to get driven next?

THANX mate :thumbs:
I guess once it's all painted I'll go for a spin looking for new stone chips :bigcry:
If it was OK to drive cars on the public road without a bonnet I could go for a spin now :supz:

Na mate I thought I'll go for the 50 shades of Grey Harlequin finish :thumbs: and Stevie Wonder is my paint guy :hahaha:

How are your bolts looking, are you repainting them after fitting the panels so they don't have socket marks?

[mattCSLnut]

Good effort Matt. Are all the panels gonna match paint though?!! :whistle:

Reminds me of last winter when I had mine in bits.

Remind me again. Does the front bumper need to come off to take the wing off? I may have to replace the passenger side one this off-season.

No need :thumbs: Look closely at some of my pix and you'll see the front bumper is still firmly On while the wing is Off.
The inner wheel arch liner is a bit of a bugger to remove completely though :banghead:

[GregorFuk]

out of interest, are our front wings different from a regular M3 ?

No difference to regular M3.

Lovin' the pics.

Engine bay cover on......that's love :smt055.

THANX mate :beer: it's a mixture of OCD & Cecil love
Few more pix of the freshly repainted front wing reunited with Cecil and the original wheel arch liner washed & dried before refitting.

[mattCSLnut]

...so are you laquering the insides too? Dedication!

Well it'll be rude not to while the wing is off it's a well know E46 rust prone area if not painted/treated properly :whistle: I don't do things by half :thumbs:
