Rad mounts look OEM, good work on them!
I think the front grill aftermarket brake cooling ducts that people fit is a great shout for the air filters, should ensure lots of air getting sucked in! They usually come with a silver/chrome circular surround but I think black would look awesome and go with the stealth look of the car 😎

[@rodknockers2036]

Thanks Mohammed!! Yeah exactly as you say black ducts will blend in a lot better I think. I need to order a new grill anyway so I can choose the ports then

Hi, where did you find those weld-on flanges for MAFs?

[@rodknockers2036]

Darkside developments in the UK sell them, £30 each

@@rodknockers2036 Thanks I will look into it! Could you also help me, how did you manage to put E60 radiator pack into E39? :) I tried to offer it yesterday and it looks like you needed custom rail holders and also to cut the front cross member where electric fan mounts?

[@carrier7676]

So did you start with an actual e39 m5 or a lesser model?

[@rodknockers2036]

I started with an E39 M5 body, someone had already stripped it for parts. there was no drivetrain at all engine, gearbox, diff etc.
