M3 bonnet vents now installed

A controversial mod to some I’m sure… but M3 vents professionally installed finishing of the M-Performance black look. The heat venting after a hard run is amazing

Not for me, but I must admit they fit well with the rest of the mods on your car.

Pictures 2&3 look like stills from a crimewatch video!

The M3 wheels suit the car nicely, surprised they fit tbh

An individual look.

Really ties in well with the rest of your car, which looks superb by the way! It’s not for me, but love the individuality of your build

Yeah they were from my Ring Floodlight camera catching it as I first drove up the road after it was done

The M3 wheels needed some tweaking but yep they fit and run fine

PS appreciate all the comments good or bad - but especially those that recognise individuality

They actually look very good. Can’t water get into the engine bay through them though?

I love the look, personally the vents are not for me but I don't think they ruin it at all, they look good. The M3 wheels really suit the car, what tweaking did you need to do?

Nice idea. Would look a lot neater if they were recessed like the OEM ones on an M3

Front is running 15mm spacers and rear just needed a bit of a tyre stretch due to running H&R springs

Agreed but that would be a ridiculous amount of bonnet work, and with the custom front splitter, M kidney grills, side skirts, rear spoiler, rear diffuser and 4x 3.5" exhausts sticking out further than BMW intended it sort of fits in ha!

Not too much work at all then! I really do like this look
