The Phoenix

This entry covers my thoughts on the stock 420G, my previous experiences with the V8 and V10 and how it compares to my driving impressions on the E46 M3.
The engine gets dropped, and the engine bay gets stripped and sprayed - but first, we have to talk about what OEM paint means in this context, and I answer the paintman's question. 

I skip the flafla and give it to you straight: we're seeing blue [...]  but which blue? It had to stay in the family.

This entry covers the preliminary checks, while-you're-in-theres, recommended hardware and installation notes along with final validation checks.

On this entry to this Special Series on The Phoenix's restoration, I follow up into my intentions: why The Phoenix needs a complete paint & body restoration [...] and a color change. 
On the first entry, I dive into my part 1 of intentions. I explain why The Phoenix needs a complete paint & body restoration. 

I complete my DIY fitment of the V1 widened carbon fenders along with installation tips and my preliminary take on their usefulness. 

I complete my DIY fitment of the CSL carbon bumper, review critical features and offer a few tips & tricks.
