no need to respray the entire car...just pain the body parts added on.
what u really need:
m3 bumper, fog lights, bumper plastic grill - go with the csl bumper (cheaper, looks good, no fog lights, no need ac lips)
m3 rear bumper - do the quad exhaust conversion
m3 side skirts
m3 front fenders + fender grille
wide arches on the rear fenders
m3 csl boot lid
m3 original or replica wheels (19 look best but 18 if u are on a tight budget) + spacers
m3 front bonnet (if cannot get original get the fibre man to do the powerdome)
m3 original side mirrors (dont buy the taiwan mirrors cos they look awful and not the same. try to find second hand ones)
check out sunway for pu parts (not fibre) plenty around these days so why u need to buy fibreglass.

take your time, scout for the right parts first...once u have everything u need then do the conversion. i took 11 months to collect the parts i required then bought a car. and i am one impatient bugger.

may i know roughly about how much to this convertion?

 

[hitman]

if you buy all original parts expect to spend in the region of rm20k plus. that was then. now should be cheaper.
with all the pu parts available today i am assuming maybe less than 1/3 the cost.
shop around and get the cost for the individual parts first.
do the conversion well and you will be thoroughly happy with it bro. don't rush. for e46 m3 today plenty of cosmetic parts available.

yours a 2 or 4 door?

How much would the above 3 items cost individually [estimates/ballpark figure]. Thanks & did not mean to hijack this thread...

4k for fiber glass is expensive. Get the PU type because they last longer.
