After long last, I got my car back! Bloomin' bodyshops, they know how to play the game very well... Grrr... [B)]
Still, I'm over the moon with the job, despite how long it took![

My CSL Alloys are STILL on backorder, which is a shame, but for the time being, I'm growing fond of the look with the OEM M3 19s. What do you guys think? Should I keep the OEMs and forget the CSL alloys? Here are some pics:

Don't worry Raj, the front bumper is a piece of cake to install - you won't have any trouble at all...

What a pain the backside the front bumper turned out to be - soooo many parts inc. different washer bottle, brackets and mountings etc - all which had to be bought over from Germany [incurring added delay!].
Sorry there are so many pics but I got a little carried away with the camera[:I]
Honest opinions please - even if they are: "Why fake a CSL"[}

Oh and you may notice, there are slight kerb marks an rips in the "rim protector". Well, I've kerbed 3 of the alloys so far - good news however is an Irish chap says he will come to my house and repair them at ?50/corner. So I'm just waiting for some time off and I plan on getting it done [
