That`s because of the fire i had,the hood is`not 100%.
That`s why the bodywork and paintjob is coming up next winter.

and just one thing i don`t like, the front spoiler look fitted after you placed the bumper, i think it should actually be a few mm higher so the screws could not be visible :D

Maybe,but I can`t fit it higher because of the oil cooler under the registration plate.It fits 100% between the gap in the spoiler :)
That`s a detail i don`t care about either way :wink:

thats one very nice car you've got. i have seen one the same colour but it has shaved handles, is de-bumperedj, with different rims and a race interior.
nice turbo conversion, but why didnt you show off your intercooler? i suppose its more of a sleeper, but if it was me id atleast mount the number plate on the side to increase air flow to the intercooler.

The intercooler is between the headlights :)
Under det registrastion plate it is just the oil cooler :wink:
So the intercooler get`s the air it will have.

I have just bought a frontspoiler that I think is just like Propans'... But mine is a Zender... Anyone know anything about a Zender that looks similar?

Do you have a close-up-pic Propan??

Looking good propan, its good to see examples like yours around it doesnt always need to be original to be stunning. And the turbo conversion is done rather well. Hope to see more pics when the new paint job comes.

Here are 2 lousy pictures of my Zender frontspoiler.

Hard to compare since it got no paintjob and is not on car, but I think you have a deeper M3 evo-look on your spoiler.

It`s wery different from my lip. In my spoiler it is a cut out in the middle for the oil cooler,and it stick longer out.
I have seen yours before,but don`t remember were.
