Fullset include:  Front bumper, Rear bumper, Side-skirtings

Great design indeed.

We highly recommend installing the honeycomb grille mesh to cover the empty space at the front bumper as this will create a more ‘original-look’.

Thank you bro Niezam.

The bodykit consists of e46 smg front bumper and m3 csl rear bumper. We had some difficulities installing the rear bumper because the bracket was uneven.The plastic over the bracket was melted as well due to the heat from the exhaust. So what we did was,we build a fibreglass bar and place above the bracket to make it even. Once we place the rear bumper, it looked pretty awesome. In fact, it was a wet day, henceforth we actually took more time to fix the car. From morning till evening. Owner was very cool indeed. Thanks alot for your patience.

In the end of the day, it’s the workmanship and service that counts.

Just to let you guys know, when purchasing either smg or m3 front bumper, get the air-intake cover together. It will look complete and will not leave empty space there. Also available for the bmw e36 m3 front bumper.

The finishing touches

We took at least 6 hours to fully install the fullset e36 m3 bodykit. It was raining on that day but we manage to fix the bodykits within that short given time. The bodykit consists of front bumper,front lips,rear half bumper,side-skirtings,door linings,roof spoiler and rear spoiler. The rear bumper was in a bad condition so we replace the whole rear bumper with a new one.

——————————————————————————————

A BMW E36, enhanced with M3 E46 Conversion bodykit for a more Ferocious look!
The whole package consist of front bumper, rear bumper, side-skirtings, wheel arches & rear spoiler. It took a total of 8 days, from manufacturing the bodykits up until the painting work.
Both installation & painting work are equally as important and both comes hand in hand so that the bodykits will blend together with the car while achieving a ‘seamless’ look.
The end result was very satisfying with a bang!
Lets have a closer look.

Before transformation (BMW E36)

(And now, let the transformation begins!)

Side skirtings changed

Wider wheel arches moulded to fit the wheels accordingly

Front bumper replaced

Before and after look (without spoiler and with spoiler)

(After transformation; E36 with M3 E46 Conversion Bodykit) PRESTO! A new look, finished with the painter’s magical touch.

*smiles*

Everything blends with perfection giving the ride an extra umph!


Many thanks to the car owner, Daniel for sharing his ride.

Many thanks to the car owner, Arif for sharing his ride.

the fullset include front bumper,front lips,front bumper blower air intake,side-skirting,rear bumper,m3 door lining,rear spoiler,foglight,widebodykit wheel arches.

Everything seems good until three weeks time, he called up and the rear bumper (on the left side) was detached. I was indeed shocked about it. He was on his way back to his hometown in Terrengganu when the incident happenned. We were truly regret about it. He came by the next week and we fix it up once more. It seems that, the bumper came off when he was travelling at normal speed with passengers at the back seat when he went over some uneven road. It should not easily come off, but it did. Eventually we fix again and additional riverts to hold it. Below are some pics. All in good condition now.

My apology to the owner again for all the trouble and hassle.
