And going by that pic above you'll have a third one in September

Cheers for the response tho guys,i think the touring looks sooo right with wide arches!Am i right in thinking i'll need the pre-facelft valance to make the m3 bumper fit?I know thats the least of my worries with this project but i may aswell start collecting parts now!

No valence on the M3, just a slim piece of bodywork visible over the top of the front bumper...

You can cut down the original valence on your car to fit

@cliffybabe-This is turning into a long term project i think mate so the rims will have to wait,not actually sure if they will fill the m3 arches so maybe some replacements will be in order?

@zaust-how much for the rears mate,i think ive sorted the fronts already!
