looks good! what sort of quad set up u going for?

[Marlon]

That rear is looking good bud - hope you can find a body sprayer that will do it justice

Love the bumper, wish I had the balls and or time to do the same but thinking of getting the m

Does anyone know if the exhaust spacing matches from non m to m

I already have a quad that's spaced to be identical so would the m bumper fit over ?

Cheers Jingle. Going to be homemade. 3rd 2" pipe out of standard box across behind bumper and twin exit.

Any of you guys know of a "How to" for the fitting of the skirts?? Is there anything I need to be aware of before I start fitting?? No hidden fixings or nasty surprises??

Other than....don't scratch them!!!! Cheers Jak...

i must be on of the few that wish i had twin to 1 side like u guys do, they are lighter, suit the car better and aren't as shouty as the the quads... which on the z4m at least are stupidly heavy.... the how exhaust must be 50KG plus. i bet your lots isn't.

I hear what your saying there Beedub. Although when i made my quad its lighter than the single exit. I still have twice as much metal than i need under the car. But i wanted the look and the sound and i was happy with it. But when i do get around to the next round of mods on my car it will have 1 central exit straight out the turbo.

But keep going Jablade as it is looking great and if you get a custom made system. It will be lighter than the very heavy BMW system.

Not adding the weight of an extra silencer Beedub. So once I've finished ripping the guts out of the standard silencer and added some extra piping the weight should be about the same...ish...
Cheers MM always good to hear compliments on one's efforts. Can't wait to get the Aero'skirts on and the rear all finished.

S**T, S**T, S**T, S**T....... Well just thought I would quickly fit the new rear bumper to see how it looks.

Now have issue with PDC's. Thought I could just remove the old ones and clip them into the new bumper....alas, this is not so.....

I am in need of some of the actual mounts to fit the PDC's into. Can't reuse the originals because these are bonded to the bumper.

Anybody any idea where I can get some of these from?? Looked on RealOem and can't find them on there......

[jakblade]

Well it's been a fair while coming but the modded rear bumper is finally in place.....just need to fill the empty hole with more zorst.[/URL]
