Repainted BBK and new rear diffuser on the M3 GTS "clone"

radiantm3 · 07-03-2014, 01:27 AM

My car and these brakes have seen around 27-28 track days so far and I felt it was time to get the seals replaced and calipers repainted from yellow to a bright red.

I also caved and picked up a used varis diffuser. Running it without the top section to see how it looks for awhile. Doesn't look that bad to me. Thoughts?

Real nice! I want to see more pics of the car out in the wild

I like your garage, and nice car too

M3Carbon · 07-03-2014, 07:21 AM

Car looks great! Hard to believe you have that many track days on it and the front end still looks perfect. Do you use any front end protection (tape, clear bra, etc)?

I prefer the Varis diffuser without the top piece. I question the benefits of the diffuser given its weight, however.

Nice photos as always

I think the varis is pretty light for what it is, about 15lbs

doesn't seem to bad all things considered,

I cant wait for mine to come in,

The fact that it is non functional is the reason I always stayed away. But I always liked the look. This one sort of fell in my lap so I decided to just give it a shot.

Clear bra. There's lots of little marks in the clear, but the bumper is still looking great. My hood and windshield on the other hand don't look very good up close.
