Some updates pictures, the car still needs a few things (muffler, side moldings, c pillar cover, etc.) before I can look into wheels. Running raceland coils, still have about an inch of thread on the front and the rears are all the way down with the adjuster still in. Not extremely low, but I'm happy for now.





This is the hockey puck where the jack pad is on the front.

This is the front bumper.

Aaaand the sway bar in the front.


Again, not extremely low but i'm pretty happy. Plans include something other than the stupid bottlecaps preferably 17" and wide, possibly clear turns for the front and clear/red tails, sticking with the non-M bumpers for now though.

Thanks for looking, comments etc. are welcome.

Oh and I really need to paint my skirts/bumpers. Should I go with painted/satin black like on Dr.AK's car, or fully painted, or fully satin black? Opinions please. <3

I would like you to post a full review of those raceland coilovers, if you wouldn't mind.....

Also.....I would flat black paint the rocker panels, and color match the rest. I like contrast and think it would look good with the tires. The rest of your plan sounds solid to me.....keep us updated on progress....

I'll get around to doing a review sometime in the future, I think there are a few guys here running E46 racelands... but yeah I will sometime. So far they have been good to me, no weird noises and they ride well. I did run into some clearance issues with my stock bottlecaps but a 10mm spacer solved that. I've been thinking I want to do the color matched upper bumpers and satin black lowers all around.

holy power steering leak bro.

[handsome.garage]

Looks good man! Go against the grain and just stick with the black bumpers. Spray it with Duplicolor bumper coat.

[slocar]

Lookin' good man.

[Effin' Euro]

i think colormatched upper and textured lowers would look best.

Color matched everything for sure. Leaving sections black makes it look cheap IMO.
