I may be in the minority here, but I am not a fan of GT2 wing conversions or even the aero option. I like the simple lines of the factory car and truthfully, only real enthusiasts will even notice the GT2 front conversion.
I vote for FAT wheels and tires and some Pss9s along with engine mods. That will subtly change the looks and give you real performance.

i would go with the c20s. the body kit is sexy, but the wheels make the most difference. the turbo looks awesome stock, so why change it? also, i saw in a magazine recently that the c20s come in 19" now, is that true? maybe these will be the wheels i put onmy m3...hmmm. anyway, hre c20s all the way man!
Buy the Techart rep. bumper, I bet 90% of the forum has the reps and not Oem techart, which I heard fits even worse. Its a tough choice, btw Greg C20's have been around in 19's for a while, a few of the m3 guys had them including Kerry in Gold, and now Gunmetal
. Please give provide more details. color ? size ? etc.

Hey Ramone, Damon at Tire Rack does them.
I got the wheels stock silver with chrome lips and decided to coat them satin Black, but I was in for a shock as the bolts around the wheel can only be removed by Oz (think Damon has a special tool also) Oz don't like people messing around with their wheels (understandable!) I managed to source a tool from Germany and it worked a treat! These are the finished result.
If I was to do it again, I would have done it with Damon, it's just that I saved a fortune on the price here in UK.
