So £1500 lighter I am now the proud owner of this VRS for the x6m front bumper! pure sex
next up it was time to piant the kit, first off all the bits that should be painted (already primeded) were hit with the gun. The x6m front bumper doesnt come with the holes for the side view camera BMW supply the fitting kit so the holes have to be cut (lucky they are outlined behind the bumper)
first coat of sap black going on
Few more coats don't be shy lamp it on phil
front bumper painted (the VRS is just placed on top it wellbe fitted once the bumper has been de nibbed and mopped)
few other bits
the side skirts come in 2 pieces so the long piece you see is the part that is normally colour coded
The grills for the bumper (and under the bonnet) were also colour coded)
The textured parts were then sanded down by me ready for phil to high build primer. Theses parts are not normally colour coded but I think there look much better once they are done. the wheel sarches well be stripped tomorrow for the same treatment. The wings and bonne well also be taken off tomorrow ready for paint. The car well comeout spotless
I'll be busy tomorrow undoing all the fidly bolts to get the wings out!
