After surfing all through the net, finally I found the frontbumper I liked, and decided to go for a CSL model.

There will be likers and hater, but I likes it, that's the main thing...

Like everyone already knows, the bumper is only for the E46 M3, since this is a coupé, it'll has to be a "CSL look-a-like model".

To be sure that the bumper, at delivery, will fitt 100%, I emailed all across the globe...

Finally I decided to order the bumper (company name not added here)

I order a plastic, pvc bumper and not a polyester one.. He will be made of the same material as the original bmw bumpers..

The fitment would be 100%... so why wait... ORDER !!!

After 2 weeks of waiting, the bumper was delivered at home.

After unwrapping, I inmediately saw that the bumper was polyester

Cause the 2 carbon splitters at the bottom were only a surpluss of 100***8364;, so I had ordered those as well..

well, they were not in the package

Phoned the company and they said they had a fire, and those splitters will be delivered later on...

When I said that the bumper was made out of fiberglass, and not of the plastic I asked...they asured me it was plastic.

left it there, and put the phone down.

Looked at that thing for a couple minutes, and it turned out to be a real nightmare.

You can see what material it's made of... djee, could that be fiberglass?.

fitted that piece of sh* on the car

How it fitted, well, you guess can guess. I was rollin' on my belly from laughing

When I tightened it with the screws, it was only 2cm sticking forward.

Already pulled the inside fenders to make it longer, but that didn't work that well lol

Then you have 2 options:

1) trow that thing in the bin or go back to the manufacturer

2) leave it at that, and look again the next day

I chose the last option.

Cause it was a fiberglass bumper, it could be my luck, cause that's something I familiar with

So, the next day, took my favorite tool of all: "THE DISC"

those screws I put 2cm more to the front, so the bumper nicely touched the fenders.

Don't be mistaken, this took a few hours to get it that good.

Here you see the slots where the plated is hooked with 2 descent screws.

Once this was done, I tightened it all together with fiberglass.

As you can see, I also cleaned out the tow hook didn"t match at all...
