    I'm sorry, while I like the car in your pictures, I'm not sure what it is you've accomplished with your work. Did you cut the bumper to make it shorter?

    I had to cut my bumper to get the brake ducts in.

    I thought maybe you built a BMW.

    Looks good either way.

    Did you connect the ducts to the brakes? I understand some of the later models (e39 maybe) had the ducts blocked in the American models so water couldn't get to the brakes... some response to a lawsuit perhaps.

    I've noticed that many e38, M3, 550i, New 6 series all have brake ducks, but much bigger. So i doubt a lawsuit... but who knows.
