That looks pretty good, digging the bumper.

That's enough for me for now until the actually useful mods come in when my CPO expires.  I wouldn't rebadge though, that's going a bit far. I still plan on keeping the 328i badge in fact! We'll just both agree that everyone likes different things.

Ah I see. Yes, I was thinking US.

Fair enough, all that matters is if you like it.

But the F80 still has a much more wide body approach. The rear and even the front is flared. Stance is completely different vs a kit. Your kit looks good though, it's close, but still not quite matching the lines of a real F80 which is all I was initially getting at. A full cosmetic transformation (flared rear, front, wide body, hood, mirrors, roof, etc) can get pretty costly which again is where I was going with this vs just getting a used //M.

Looks better over Msport and a stock 3 series though so I'll agree there. But the F80 should look better than a standard 3 series.

I appreciate your efforts however transforming your car. Still rocking the 328 badge too which you usually don't see in such transformations

Yup to do it completely properly would be more costly since I'd have to do the flares too. This is the better compromise I think since I get the nice front and sides. I'd rather spend the extra money needed for a 1:1 F80 look on performance mods. I just wanted a prettier car, which is all the mod was about. Also why I kept the badge because who would I be trying to impress without it? Anyone who knows the difference isn't going to be fooled, and anyone who does know the difference wouldn't care.
