'73 3.0CS - M88 Jerez Schwarz build

[day66]

I agree with you on the bumpers - I've gone for a 2000CS one on the back on mine and made a one-piece one for the front too using a set of standard bumpers that were past their best. Eliminating the rubber strip also saves a few pounds and gets rid of another couple of rust traps! I'm just wondering whether to add some overrriders though - the front bumper looks a little feature-less without them.

Any photos? I'm debating the same for the front with over riders

Yes, of course>

Here's a couple - one during construction, pre chrome and number plate

and here's the car with the bumper chromed and number plate in place.

Few design changes for them to fit on and after some filler primer and textured black paint I'm happy with the result. Just waiting on some centre badges

Some 225 pilot sport 4s on the back and the refurbed wheels back on. Front needs to be lowered about 20mm but looks great imo

Wow… those wheels turned out so nice. Really pops on the black!

Okay… begs the question… are all those your cars?

I wish! A good friend has a lovely storage facility where I keep the e24, the m3 and the e9. Humidity controlled and underfloor heating, the cars have a better home than I do!
