Just got into an accident!

Crashed the front of my car to the point where i need a new front bumper and new hood. Although this sucks, it will give me a chance to maybe put some after market pats on my car. Just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions of some aftermarket front bumpers and hoods that might make my 1ER stand out a little bit more.

Any suggestions would be great!

Same thing happened to me last winter! I got a seibon CF hood and the BMW aero bumper. There aren't too many bumper options, since most companies are focused on making lip spoilers or splitters for the OEM bumper, but there are a good number of aftermarket hoods out there.

Bumpers:

OEM BMW Aero Bumper: http://www.shopbmwusa.com/ProductDet...=991&perf=true
Kerscher Front Bumper: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=564106
Evolution Raceworks Wide Body Front: http://www.**********s.com/Evolution...-128i-135i.htm

Hoods:

Seibon OEM Style CF Hood: http://www.carmoddirect.com/products...iber-Hood.html
Seibon GTR Style CF Hood: http://www.carmoddirect.com/products...iber-Hood.html
Vorsteiner CF Hood: http://www.brrperformance.com/blog/?p=188
iCarbon CF Hood: http://www.**********s.com/iCarbon-C...od-E82-E88.htm
3D Design CF Hood: http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...oducts_id=3384

Also, if your headlights are damaged, now would be a good time to request they order the Euro headlights (with no amber reflectors for the turn signals!) since they're the same price!

I'd do the OEM Aero bumper and either Seibon OEM or Vorsteiner hood. Vivid Racing can help you find a good price on everything.

Honestly, I would love to go for the ER widebody, shit just scares me..I mean not only is it mucho money ($2k+) but does the wider front bumper change the size of the lower grill and left and right ducts? If so I would think that would look a bit awkward, also wondering if that kit comes with the lower honeycomb grill, etc.

Also..if I had that kit and went from a 8.5" front 9.5" rear to a 9.5" front and rear, likely 265 tire straight setup, wouldnt that cause understeer due to it being a rwd car and not AWD? I thought that was the whole idea behind a wider rear track width for rwd cars


Course that and the fact that im left with wtf to do with my stock bumper, fenders and skirts thereafter. Thats alotta stock parts leftover sitting in my garage

The active E hood will likely be VIN locked just as the M3 CSL and the BMW Sauber F1 edition 135 are.



And Thez the ER kit looks bone stock. I was followed by one for about 15 miles on saturday so I got a good chance to check it out. The FMIC intake is the same size as stock the left and right sides are larger, but it isn't very noticible. It's actually a very subtle piece, you know, so long as you paint all of the CF haha




And no, a larger rear tire increases understeer (the bad one). by making the front tire the same size as the rear tire you make the car more neutral, which is what you want
