personally i say stay well away from replica kits. just keep your eye out for a original tech 2. the fitting of replica's is a nightmare as they are shit quality

I saw this kit when i was looking about for one includes the boot lid and spoiler as well.

Even if the kits not that great surely a half decent body shop could sort it out?

Next question ?

One of the main reasons for not buying a proper M3 is i don't really want to take apart a classic, cause the car i want to do will be a stripped out 325 or the likes with a S50 M3 engine in it and M3 kit as i like the look of it. Also it will be RHD which is a bonus. I know two people that work in body shops and one owns his own so will get the kit fitted and sprayed very cheap (mates rates) this is not issue.

If done properly are these kits really that bad?

If they are then i may change my plan's and turbo charge my E36 instead, as im in two minds on what i want to do at the moment.

Any pics of cars with replica kits fitted?

If you really want an M3 lookalike buy genuine parts and fit them , at least it will look right when done . I have two front wings, two side skirts , two new unused doors and a rear bumper. The rear quarters will be aggro so maybe get some fibreglass ones and your mate can spend a week perfecting his bogging skills ! :)
