I picked up a euro valance and I’m starting the euro bumper install.
I can’t seem to find the M5 chin hardware. I’m sure someone has found a way to do this.

Its been a busy 2 months.
Work has been off the charts, a life too :D

I dropped the car off at the body shop and got it painted. I'm working on the Euro bumper install.
I need to find some for the fog light screw covers
and finish the rear of the car too. Black grommets are installed for the moment.. ;) Not done yet.

Maytag is jealous of both the paint job and euro bumpers.

I still need to find a shop to help me finish the rear.

Working on the interior a bit, cracked dash, missing sport seat trim... blah blah blah. :D

Looking good! Did you ever mount your 16 inch wheels, or have you decided to keep the 17s on?

Love the look of this car. With the seemingly endless and confusing options for the euro conversion, what exactly did you buy?
