My opinion? I have no idea what ltw is. I have no idea what the flag's supposed to represent, so it just looks like some goofy stickering to me.

If you have to take time to explain the things you've done to your car, they aren't worth doing.

Good point, but what about all those car restorers that spend lots of time to get the original and hard to find pieces. You can't go up and tell them its not worth it. ltw for the 3 series is a big thing. It just doesn't work for the 5ers

just do a bad job on the lowers lol

actually, this has a lot of TRUTH to it. I would highly recommend just trying to paint the lowers yourself and let them come out however they do. This is basically what I did, and if you look close, there are a LOT of imperfections...

You REALLY WON'T notice the quality of paint job, but you WILL notice that the car looks newer, lower, and more aggresive.

Do you recommend any sanding and with what grit sandpaper before paint? Primer?

[Macv]

yes sand ... id start 320 and work to around 600 (if looking for it to be smooth). id go 180, 320, 600 on the sides. then primer a couple coats.
wetsand 600.... basecoat a few times, with wetcoats if needed.... then tons of light clear coats.
