I've got them on my M3. Sweep fitted mine, they look the biz.
NB; get them OEM. Do not get them from C3 etc. They are not the same and they make the bonnet stick (believe me I know).

David
P.S if you need anymore pics Falkster (or anyone else for that matter) just let me know.

You do know these increase the underbody temps by quite a large amount don't you?
In fact on a cold day you can warm your hands on the air rushing out the wheel arch.

bonnet seals were sport evo only too, as part of the improved aerodynamics for that model.
normal m3s just have the 3 piece bumper to grille support pannel seal.

can't see it making that much of a difference, the normal seal goes all the way down the sides and allong the back of the bonnet sealing it anyway, the sportevo seals were purely for aerodynamics, sealing a gap that causes turbulence and creates drag.
