Re: Body Kit

Agree with you on the wheel arches but if i were to lower the ride the side skirts will say bye bye to me very soon, also lowering ride = 1 more item warranty void hard choice here haha.

You sounded so aggressive in your mod, but fearful of warranty issues? BTW, changing rims could be used against you in warranty issue too. They all affect the chassis, PML will argue.

Trust Sam on this.

By the way you change your exhaust from front all the way till back or match them on midpoint?

Cat-back only.

Re: Body Kit

Not true. I have ran Hamann sideskirts on my E46 and now second set on my E92. Hit the undercarriage so many times and scrapped the sidekirts - had it been fibreglass or ABS Plastic, it would be long gone.

It is PU.

Re: Body Kit

Maybe they are right, cheaper material..
Nowadays they use fibre glass mixed material dunno with wot..

Re: Body Kit

I could not find any material on Hamann website, so let's take whoever-you-spoke-to-at-KBS as good. That will make this "fibreglass" kit VERY STRONG and VERY SMOOTH !!!

Read the characteristics of various materials. Take a look at Sam's Hamann sideskirts at Yew Lip, and see if they look like fibreglass to you.......

Wahahaha.. This fella you mention is a real JOKER.

Edited, i would take back my words on the JOKER part cause just come to know that guni was a forumer and i misunderstood the sentence by hitmee as a garage worker trying to con hitmee into not buying fibreglass products.
*Apologies to Guni in advance if offended.
