    *Exterior Fitment Issues*

    Im looking on upgrading the exterior style on my 97' Arctic Silver 328i.

    Has anyone ever had any fitment issues with the following?

    -Rieger Infinity 1 Lip

    -M Style Rear Diffuser From Bavarian Autosport

    Also, does anyone sell any Angel Eyes that come in a complete kit with Ellipsoids aswell?

    Who has the cheapest all around (front side rear) clears?


    Thanks

    Whats up man, the Rieger lip went on my arctic silver 328is perfectly, no fitment issues at all. I have the diffuser coming in a few days, and it should fit perfect also. Dean on this board has it and said it was a perfect fit

    no fitment problems what so ever on the rieger lip. my cousin got that lip and it looks great. The cheapest ellipsoids with angels eyes are probably in-pros right now. Good Luck!:atom

    Nope not painted yet, should happen real soon as my rear diffuser will finally be here this week!! I'm getting both painted at the same time, that's why I've been waiting so long

    I have the Rieger Lip and it fit perfectly on my M3 bumper but I decided to take it off due to the fact that I couldn't drive ANYWHERE without scraping it. If you have a stock 328 bumper, then the lip for that might give you a little more clearance.

    Damn, I forgot about that. I can barely clear anything right now

    FYI for you guys, the Rieger lip for the 328 bumper is ABS, not fiberglass, it is high quality and won't crack like the fiberglass could. Also, after installing it on my car to see what it will look like once I get it painted, I don't think there will be to many clearance issues, obviously you'll need to be more careful than w/out it, but I don't foresee any big problems. Here's a picture of it again, and keep in mind that in this pic I just have the bumper laying up on the studs and not fully installed so it is sagging more here in this pic than it will be once the bumper is fully bolted up (it won't be as low as in the pic):

    hey Vols, the car looks fairly smart without the original centre grill and with the spoiler in black. reminds me of the GTR skylines.
    anyway, i see you've ripped off the heatsheild under the bonnet/hood, i done the same, but noticed the paint whitening underneath, so i covered the inside of the braced section with mirrored aluminium foil tape. just a precaution. keep an eye on it in case the heat affects the outside paint..

    miss my rieger 3, but love my new S2000!
    for the ellipsoids w/ddes, check out umnitzas group buy in the gb section.

    you can get ellipsoids w/ddes in them for around $330 i believed( and those ddes are installed ).

    Get this Sh*t, I FINALLY got my M3 style rear diffuser today from MMS TUning after waiting almost 2 months, and it is the WRONG thing! THey sent me an actual M3 diffuser, not the M3 STYLE diffuser that they sell that fits my stock 328 bumper! The real M3 diffuser doesn't fit AT ALL! I just tried to install it, and it is nowhere near fitting! MAN IM PISSED!!: :

    SO, now I have to wait EVEN LONGER to get the diffuser and Rieger lip painted!!: :

    Are you serious, you barely got it from when you ordered it?
    I remember you saying that you had placed an order already. I swear that felt like 4 Month ago. Damn, not even the right one. Hope you dont have to wait that same time period again. They should pay for next day delivery. Maybe an extra M style Diffuser aswell: :12:
