That cut-off switch has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen on any '02. Simply beautiful work.

Nice! Was the spare tire well delete a recent mod? If so I'd love to hear more about how it was accomplished.

Fernando ..car looks just stunning/mouth watering.......better than Alpina's even.


I had heard Korman frt flares need alot of work to fit?...maybe you even said that on your older posts. Im going to try the IE frts......and prolly SCR's metal rears. So you used the FG rears bonded to metal?.....are you happy w/ the results?....Ive been warned by so many to stay away from the FG rears......stress cracking, bonding the 2 materials etc

I recall you are using Panasport wheels.......were they 7's or 8's ....and what offset again?.......Ive been looking at Compomotive ML's.....

what size tire/....?



Your car is my inspiration......

Oh...where is the decal we discussed, do you remember....?.......send it out.......hehhe!!!

The reason is, because in the vintage racing rules of my country, i can't increase the standard wide of the wheels more of 2" inches, then the max wheel wide admissible is 7". I think use 205/60R13 for racing purposes, the max admissible too.

however, i will increase the front and the rear track with some mods in the front and rear axle. Rear i'll use E21 323i trailing arms, increase the track around of 15mm for each side..
