Cheers Chris. The arches are pulled and rolled. The arch line actually starts a little higher than a standard m3 arch.

Got my mfest plate holder to fit today. Thanks to my best buddy Bruno for buying it for me

Nice on the plate holder

Did you pull the fenders yourself or had to get a body shop to do it?

Yet another update.

Well I ended up with these bad boys. Big thanks to shimmy for these.



I then had to sort some mounting plates. The plan was to borrow some VAC Motorsport floor mounts from Baris Xkaliber and let Ian loose on them and make me sone copies.

So yesterday I went round to see baris and remove his blistein coilovers and fit some KW V3's for him. While I did that he removed one of his VAC mounts. I finished up and he then remembered thy he had the original recaro mounts in the box from his seats hardware.

He gave them to me to try out. With his side mount and polo position set-up they were abit high for him.

I tried them this morning and they are spot on for me. Lower than oem which just how I wanted it. I think the SPG seats must sit slightly lower and my side mounts must also be lower by design. Baris has very kindly donated these to the build. Thank you soo much mate.

So how do they look???!










They are perfect for me. Perfect hight, perfect fit. Anyone who has sat in my car knows I sit on the floor and very upright. I run no lumber support on the oem cos they give me a really sore back. I can see myself being able to rack up some proper miles with these and stop tr back pains oem gave me.

Sorry for the iphone pics. I'm still computerless
