Which bodykit looks best? Please vote, comment, discuss whatever you feel good or bad each kit eg too council for the street? look cool to outsiders who are non-the-wiser? Wrong to put a late kit on a early car or vice versa? stick to authentic or go council mad? whatever speak up!

Modding a 2002 is ruining a classic. It's like chavving up an E-Type Jaguar, or putting a rieger kit onto a Ferrari Mondial. The 2002 is a cult car, and now a surprisingly rare one at that. That aside, I do honestly think they look better as standard.

the chunkier the better, the group2 or the blue box m3 style arches.

I really like the late Alpina and Turbo kits, but I could not bear to cut up the original guards on mine.

No bodykit for me too. Although the bodykit sporting the mirror image 'turbo' looks cool to me. I know nothing about them though.

Unless it is a post '73 square rear light model (excluding the Turbo) - then do with it what you will. Round rear light models are much more spesh - IMO.

The front Alpina style chin looks nice, as do the turbo arches. Anything more than that is just silly.
