I started the video being confused, and ended it being confused...

Ruined it. Completely.

Got to give him some credit for his workmanship though, not to my taste but it didn't look sh*** like some mods do.

I realise it’s heretical (to some) what he’s doing ..but as said…I’ve seen an awful lot of stuff that’s been bodged far far worse..I quite like it…wonder how it handles on those wide wheels?

I didn't have the heart to tell him you can get widebody panels

The man looked like he was on a mission…I don’t think BMW made front splitters and side skirts..?

He’s enjoying himself…wonder what wheels /tyres they were.. certainly looked chunky ..

I don't think those knife edges on the bolt on parts would be acceptable in the UK but as you guys have already noted, I've seen much worse. This is like a prototype or first pass for someone else to take to the next step. Good basic fabrication skills and he's showing the way to go for other like minded customizers.

I really don’t like the end product, but have to admire the skills. He’s made some difficult work look really easy. I do wonder what the effect of cutting away the bonnet at the top of the wheel arch is. It seems to me like that might remove a lot of stiffness from the bonnet.

Doesn't float my boat but then I'm a narrow body fan. As others have said I've seen a lot worse. Each to their own.

I thought he was going to weld in actual flared arches like you can get for 911s, but left it as almost a canopy

B*LL*CKS!! Kate got a Dremel for Christmas!!
