Some more progress shots.
I told the shop from the beginning to take their time with my project. If other jobs pop up, get to them, and get back to mine when they can put their full efforts on it. As a result, now work was done from last Friday through this afternoon.
They got the car up on the lift, removed the wheels, and began rolling/pulling the fenders to accomodate my 11" wide HRE's.
Before:
After:
They roll fenders on the Porsche's all the time, and said that the amount of effort it took on the M3 was ridiculous. 40 minutes with a heat gun and fender roller tool was not enough to get inner fender lip folded flush. They had to use a metal bar and mallet. After the pull was completed, it took a bit of work with bondo and primer to bring the fender lips to a perfect straight curve.
Tomorrow, the prep work starts on the aftermarket hood/bumper/diffuser, as well as the OEM hood/bumper (which I'm going to keep for track duty).
