OEM CSL Roof install on my M3 5 Attachment(s) Well Guys, I got a wonderful gift from a good friend and member on here, an OEM CSL roof. He had it lying around at home since last year but didn't get the chance to install it. We came to an agreement and he dropped the roof off at my shop a few weeks ago. I set about ordering the adhesive, applicator gun and front and rear window seals. Everything arrived in a week but the adhesive took 5 weeks to get here. Thanks to member disapr for the advice on which glue and gun to get. Some pics..... Attachment 141738 Attachment 141739 Attachment 141740 Attachment 141741 Attachment 141742 Dropping the car off at ekanooracing on Saturday for the install. Thanks so much to ekanoo/brn996tt and staff for the support. I'll keep the thread updated with as many pics i can during the install. Might get the BBS CH's refurbished at the same time. |
Awesome decision; for the roof and possible wheel choice! Please post pics when complete! |
I love these type threads! Can't wait to see it installed! |
