Just dropped my car off last week to get some work done. Basically I'm trying to get the M5 front fenders to fit my Rieger front bumper. I wanted the M5 fenders because they are a bit wider than the non-M fenders. I love my Rieger body kit, but felt the front of my car looked too narrow with the larger front bumper. I'm hoping the new fenders will help me get the overall look that I want. I put my stock wheels on before I dropped off my car. Just waiting on my new 21's to be ready. I'm removing the M5 decals from the fender grills, and had some custom decals made. I'll post pics of the decals when they arrive.
Here's a sneak peek at what's going on...Enjoy!

How are you gonna get the fender and bumper lined up? And where did you get your stuff painted? Are you BBK's gonna be baby blue or yellow?

I kinda left the fitment issue with the body shop. I'm pretty sure they're going to have to add some material to the bumper. I got the BBK painted to Porsche Speed Yellow. All the work is being done at DTM Autobody.

Nice, can't wait to see the results.

How much were your BBK's? How many POTs?

I got a great deal from Rotora. Partial sponsorship because we have their brakes on 3 of our cars at work.
I have the 8 piston calipers w/ 15" rotors for the front, and 4 piston calipers w/ 15" rotors for the rear.

I get updates from DTM Autobody about every other day. I'll post more pics as they come. The custom decals should be delivered tomorrow. I'll try to get some pics posted as soon as I can.
