Just got this to fit, it's a zenders but does seem to fit directly and the joins under the bumper, I may have to carve side bits off the valance to make it a tidy fit, as I want the joins behind the bumper. Any one got any suggestions please advise. Cheers

Re: Another 323 m52 conversion.
I had a go at it and a friend help me through it, it wasn't that difficult, but he said don't bother doing the back bearing as they more complicated as rear wheel drive. Is this right?

Re: Another 323 m52 conversion.
yes he is totally right lol. getting the 323i rear bearings is a pain in the backside. fronts are so simple its a ten minute job once you got the wheel off.

Re: Another 323 m52 conversion.
Just a small update, I ve built a little garage for the car and luckily it just fits in there, but from here I can do bits and pieces to her more easily. Just a bit nervous on repainting the whole car right now, in case I scratch it parking up for the winter mmmmmhh
