  • So we're getting the E30 painted at the end of the month, so we need to get it ready for paint! And yes that means installing the full wide body kit on the E30 (and the rest of the bumpers etc)
    Now I have never fitted a wide body kit in my life, so this could go terribly wrong.. so please dont take this as a 'how to install a widebody kit' because it defiantly isn't, but lets see how we get on hahah!
    Hope you enjoy :)

    That boot lid is for a m3. On the m3 the rear 1/4 piller is at a different angle to aid aero so the actual boot lid is smaller.

      I think the E30 M3 has a different rear parcel shelf along with the c pillar as it's moved back around 2-3 inches or raised I can't remember
      But then the hinges fit to the parcel shelf allowing the boot lid to sit correctly
      It's alot of work to get right
      I would just leave it how you have done
      Awesome job so far loving this build

      You have to run M3 hinges. Check Norway E30 M3 as they re manufactured everything E30 M3 related, including steel panels. Take a look at mine and you'll see the difference -ua-cam.com/video/YCY66GT2o70/v-deo.html @@itsleelockwood

    *That's the M3 boot lid and you need the C pillar. Look at a genuine E30 M3 and you'll see. Mind you, the arches look about as much like the M3's as my nan so I wouldn't worry. You can run Z3 rear arm etc for the 5 stud hubs and they're also wider, so you won't have to run those shite adaptor spacers.*

    I don't understand the logic of the wide body kit if you were concerned about the weight of the car. If it is a drift car you are making it wider with plastic panels which will disintegrate when they come into contact with an obstacle. Apart from that love the content lol .
