so with the subframe out i made up some plates for subframe reinforcment and welded them in, then fitted all polybushes to the rear, new lowering springs all around too.

That's a very clean M3! Best of luck with it :)

How did you go about polishing the 19s? they look to have turned out mint.

Good to see you stuck in , what springs did you go for. Need a couple for the back of me own

Looks well man looking forward to seeing it evolve :)
