thanks for all the comments guys

i'll be getting the pipercross back on soon and testing it on the rolling road too!

the lip for those interested was made by a guy on e36coupe.com
and then wrapped in real carbon by a guy on there also!

well gave the car a good spruce for gaydon and then didnt go after a finding out how bad the inner edge of my rear tyre were this morning
but thought i'd put a few pics up anyway! before it went back in the garage until new tyres are fitted!









even spruced up the engine bay as i knew a few wanted to have a look!

rolled the car out of the garage today just to fit a ac schnitzer carbon fibre strut brace! i had to bolt the throttle butterfly on the lower bolt so it cleared but all seems well!
however i couldnt bolt the brace down as the bolts i have on mine dont fit in the acs brace mounts but will get that sorted
and also refitted the carbon viper induction kit its pretty tight but it fitted however it needs a new hose as the old one is wrecked!







as always any comments good or bad are welcomed!

I noticed you have a tool in the APR in one of your photos. Did you do some tweaking to it along the way.

Good pics too !!
