Hi Chaps,
Does anyone know where I can get hold of all panels for M3 Cab conversion?
ie. Front wings, Rear Quarters, Front and rear bumpers with carriers, side skirts, sill trims and under wing covers.

I heard the rear quarters don't fit on non m3 cabs and fabrication work was needed any thoughts/ideas?

thanks

All of it is M3 convertible specific except the bumpers. Most people 'bodge' coupe bits to fit. Either way all of the bits are EXPENSIVE. Most is NLA new, not that that would be an option ! The doors are different as well but a good bodyshop can weld a strip and fill the moulding recess.

so seems like a right pain in the arse job then. I don't want to bodge bits on to be honest.
Wanted to do a proper job with new panels but looks like this aint an option.
Yeah the doors shouldn't be a prob.
So are you saying the front wings wont go on a cab?.
