    So far a piece of hatch trim, door strikers, and a parts headlight. Missed the ac switch.

    What headlight parts did you need? I have plenty just up the street most likely.

    I know. I wanted a complete one to practice taking apart before I attack the good ones.

    Sorry... I wanted it to be able to swap out my ASC as I feel. Since you cant just remove the ACS from the OEM wing, not without holes anyway.

    I am still interested in what comes out of the CSL style wing, since last I heard Jeremy donated a wing to the cause for prototyping

    I've always thought a CSL style wing on an M Coupe belongs on the hatch, like the ducktail on an older 911?

    Got another box today after ordering it all before thanksgiving...



    First impressions of the "Euro" retrofit:
    You do need all three brackets listed, the silver black plate and black bracket seen towards the top of the photo
    The coolant pipe from the water pump is probably going to be a hybrid of the two (US spec and the Euro pipe)
    -and-
    This is one hell of a "project" to jump into

    Weather was nice the past two days was able to get these bits done. Still have some cooling work to accomplish, and the latest update on my wheels is approx. 3 weeks delivery date.

    The weather the past three days have been pretty awesome. Got some more fitting done on the retrofit.

    Just some more stuff going on...



    Radiator final installed. Majority of the soft hose installed. Underpanel freshly painted with new air dam under the radiator. Starting to sort out my wiring in the passenger corner. Need to hit up a junkyard for some spicing wiring and ordered a soft hose I got the wrong one of.

    Doing another test fit to see what else needs to be lengthened/relocated. It's getting close to welding it all up time.

    Fresh HID shrouds show up Thursday (per tracking) and are the last item to get my headlights back together.

    Coolant pipe is still being troublesome but I am hopefully close to a solution with it.

    All cooling hoses have arrived/are installed

    2Gal of BMW coolant inbound

    New ECU fan in 3-4 weeks from Germany

    Welding up everything hopefully the 18th... cutting it close to Schuh!

    I did, due to wheel color that is coming. I didn't think they would flow well together so when back to OEM+ look, super clean.

    I like it. Much cleaner look IMO. Really coming together nicely... can't wait to see the wheels

    Thanks.

    I tried the French, and it was okay. I think besides the wheels I'm going to be looking at OEM+, with some nice accents. One of which is already here but probably not going on till the end of this year unfortunately

    Yea, I gave it a go and wasn't as excited about it as I thought I'd be. I had frenched fogs on my E36 and loved it; however, it was black and not SG.

    Side by side comparison pics of frenched versus not so I can see the difference?

    We both have new wheels, and I'm sure you will beat me to the reveal. Livery I've heard, but no clue what design. Can't wait to see what you went with.
