Project: M-Tech Side Skirts
Scope: Remove old, and install new left & right M-Tech side skirts
Time: 40 minutes 1st side, 30 minutes 2nd side
DIY information: Piece of cake! didn't even have to raise the car up. DIY instructions found in e60.net DIY section

I like the upgrade... much nicer lines.

Nice looking .. Good idea tackling the skirts first... that way you'll build confidence before tackling the bumpers!....When are you planning to install the rest????

BTW - next mod should be a drop!
