Ok guys, I picked up my Hamann sideskirts yesterday from the paintshop, and had the garage I use fit them today. Took ages for the sticky stuff to go off, but when it did, they weren't going anywhere. Here are some pix. Skirts were 19 quid from ebay, new items, 7 quid postage.
The Skirts look great mate they have done a good job on the paint match for you silver is a bugger to get right!
I have been looking at a Bonnet Bra myself found one that i think is a pretty good deal on the bay!
Charley the skirts are lookin good :thumbsup Did you say they stuck them on? I guess you will have to invest in a light trolley jack for your boot or buy some tyre weld as I notice there is no jack holes.
Fanx guys, these are the wheels I got for 55 quid. haha. A bit of a steal if I may say. The bra I have isn't one of the nasty leather ones, it's magnetic rubber.
Doesn't have those sticking up things which cause drag and doesn't let any water or dirt get under it. I got it from this place;
I got mine for $58 USD I think, posted to the UK price, something like that. It'll come rolled up, so unroll, use a hairdryer to soften it up and mould to the bonnet's countours. It took 5 days to get here.
Yeah, they were bonded on. I havn't even had a chance to look underneath yet to see if those big round rubber trolley jack grommets are usable.
I'm liking the splinter Charley it's the first of me seeing it on the car since you bought it
I would check your jacking points as the last thing you want is to be stuck in the middle of no where with a puncture. Especially when you know there is a perfect spare in the boot As I say tyre weld would be a good precaution.
Your car looks mint Charley :thumbsup but whats the point of the bonnet bra ? does it do something special or is just for looks ? Also I notice it covers up the bmw badge too.
Hi mate, fanx. The bonnet bra is to help protect the front of the bonnet from getting stone chipped. Yes, it does cover up the badge, but I think everyone would recognise the square grills and instantly know it was a BMW anyway.
Yeah, I'll have to buy at least 1 tin of tyre weld, but I do have RAC anyway. Has anyone actually used the Tyreweld before? How good is it? Is the tyre still usable after the puncture is repaired or will the tyreweld inside do something to the tyre over time?
Hello car looks sweet im interested in getting a bonnet bra my self for my trip to the ring next year Nice to see another saloon getting modded, keep up the good work looks wicked
I know I know, gna make a trip to the breakers and see if theres any there, spray them up. Am I the only person who's got Hamann skirts on any series BMW? I mustadmit I haven't seen any others on the road or in any forums.
loving the alpina front section, very swav! as for the skirts, a different choice but looks good! Really makes the ride individual!
And seeing the bonnet bra has swung me as well to look into one!
Fanx meerkat, I bought an X5 rear diffuser last week from Ebay for 14.50. Hopefully have it fitted today if the guy still has his fingers left. <<Had some an accident crushing his fingers under my car last time he did the RTAB.
Am looking into an idea for the sides of the rear bumper. Some spats or something, just to finish off the low skirt line at the rear.
Here is something I'd like from Ebay, it's for an E39, unavailable anywhere now tho for the E36/E46. Look at the bottom of the bumper.
great idea, can you not get the e39 spoiler and mod it :thumbsup as if its a pianted finish you should be able to cut down to fit and make good, will look very cool if you could pull this one off:thumbsup, i for one will be keeping an eye
I e:mailed the seller of the roof spoiler, but he hasn't got back to me yet. I went to the garage to get my Alpina exhaust trim put on and my X5 rear bumper diffuser, and whilst there, we search around for a company that did that under bumper spoiler for both E36 and E39, but we couldn't find it anywhere. We reckon someone may have just got handy with some fibreglass and custom made it.
I have 2 E36 M3 boot spoilers here I could chop up or maybe even the original side skirts. Still looking tho for the spoiler, if all else fails, am gna have to get one made.
