Thank you for the info! Just curious, with that type of setup were you able to get the alignment back to stock specs without any camber plates or anything else different?

Yes, factory alignment spec was done without issue.

I actually still have a few mm left to lower in the front. Will probably go max low here soon. Rears are set about halfway.

So effectively ET5 all round, lowered and no rubbing I'm assuming? Assuming it gets driven properly too

Thinking would like to lower front for aesthetics but don't want to ruin M Division's hard work...? This thing does feel absolutely planted/sorted up and down good old Aussie country twisties. You really do forget the weight and fact it's a wagon. Plus the convenience of the ground clearance. Though could do with some mooore power baby Thankfully won the tyre lottery too

Stunning car and great plate!

Picked up today!

After waiting over two months for parts to arrive, I am finally installing a garage full of mods (just in time for winter). Will post before and after pics.

I could not help myself, but look back as I headed to the office.

Congrats. I am counting down until mine arrives. Glad I went BSM.

My previous car was a BSM F82. I did Ceramic Pro Gold on that and it looked amazing. Ceramic makes a HUGE difference in the level of effort to maintain the paint, and Ceramic Pro Gold is one of the best IMO.

With my BSM G82 I went a different route and went XPel Stealth PPF with XPel ceramic over that. The ceramic was only to help with washing the car.

I have the exact same cleaning protocol for both cars, except for one difference. With Ceramic Pro Gold, you go back in once a year for maintenance and you get a fresh coat of Ceramic Pro Sport to make it like new again. With the ceramic coating on the PPF about once a quarter I use Reload to refresh the ceramic coating and the hydrophobicity of the surface.

I am going to get the full ppf and ceramic coating done once the last of my mods are completed next month, one of them being a new Alpha N hood. With that said, I also have a BSM G82 and can’t decide on gloss or stealth.

I heard that pictures do not do the stealth justice. Is it really that nice over the gloss? Would you do stealth again?

Honestly, if I had it to do all over again, I would go with Frozen Black and Stealth PPF to protect it.

I think the pictures that I, and others, have posted with the stealth BSM are pretty accurate. It looks fantastic when it is installed by a competent shop (do your homework). I think that one of the cool things about BSM with stealth PPF is that you can still see the sapphire through the PPF. It's subtle, but it's there, and in the sunlight it's much more noticeable.

With that said, there is something about BSM with a good ceramic coating that is just amazing as well.

You really can't go wrong with either decision.

Thinking about the Alpha N hood, if you leave it CF, my brain can't put together a vision with stealth (on the BSM, not the hood) that seems right. But, that's just in my head, it might look fantastic in person. If you're going to paint the hood BSM, then the point is moot.
