Hi guys. Picked up a crash damaged 320i last week. Only 30000 miles on the clock so was a no brained in terms of having a project. It'll be my first one and I think it's a good car to sart with. Anyway on with the photos. Here are a few as picked up and then the weekends work of removing the damaged parts

As said. Here's some photos of my car. As picking up and now with all the damaged bits taken off

Iv got a couple of questions firstly. Im think ing about getting The mtech 2 kit. Does that fit on over the standard bumpers or is it standalone?

Secondly. Does anyone have and hints tips websites that will help me out?

Thanks in advance

Without looking at the service book I'm not sure of the colour name but it's a light blue
