        Looks great. Did you have any bubbling before hand? Did you also replace the rubber trim?

          mirrors are Ac Schnitzer so not made from alloy but still the paint blistered around the base so caused by water ingress I think, seals were ok and reused

                    • Looks great.

                      What mounting brackets did you go with (presume these are 996 calipers), and was there any specific reason you have chosen 4-pot over 6-pot 135i caliper for the front?

                        Thanks.

                        The mounting brackets at the front are from a company called MBT and the rears are from Rallyroad. I did this conversion back in 2011 hence the 996 calipers rather than BMW .

                              • Do love the AC bits on the coupe, makes them propper aggressive, always loved the look since I first saw Jeffs at one of my first BMW shows.

                                Estoril blue is a firm favorite too, I've had a E36 and E46 M in it, but I just had to have another Imola lol, much to my wife's displeasure...
