IMHO: leave the wing (archive)

When you factor in the cost of installing the wing and then removing the wing. It may be better to just sell it with the wing with the wing price reduced significantly or give it away with the car. Why add more uncoverable cost to the car by repainting it. Repainting may also drop the value of the car as well.

agree on the amber markers, those are recoverable unless the ambers have already been sold. I don't think any buyer will complain about having the clears unless you're charging more for the car at the amount that is equal to the value of a set of clears yet not giving them the original ambers.

those wheels are part of the SP option so you have to leave them.

I guess it's not selling 'cause white isn't that popular and the 325Ci's are out.

restore the car to stock form.. amber markers, factory wheels... lose the wing, and fill the drill holes...repaint.

ebay the wheels...easy $1200 for 0-mile takeoffs

throw in the clears for somebody else to close an unrelated deal (anyone wearing a backwards baseball cap is a good candidate), or ebay the clears for maybe $100

the factory 5-spoke wheels look very sharp on the white coupes. trade off a set of 5-spokes from another car in stock, and watch how fast it sells.

anyone thinking about putting mods on their cars should look at how long it's taking to sell a factory-fresh version of your dream machine. KEEP IT STOCK!
