Now is it as good idea to fit these plates now while it is all stripped?
What will happen to the foam / Resin with the welding?
Should I leave as is and fit Polly bushing to give a flat surface for the subframe to mate to the panel?
Just don't know, I was tempted to just leave it all OEM but have been advised otherwise.
Anyone done anything similar?
Be interested to hear from anyone that has done the plates post foam / Resin injection.

lad Had his plated up, after new floor was fitted by bmw,, they wouldn’t refit a new floor again foc. So they welded plates,, they had done the resin first time,, But personally if it was mine if your floor is good, I’d probably just fit some solid subframe. Bushes. From memory mike recommended the akg solid bushes. I’ve bought some for my Trackday build. And they are superb quality,, iv fitted them in ,, But not tried them yet. But that’s what I would fit next in the csl subframe. They give a good wide surface. Ps I’ve also plated Trackday car build as it was cracked ,, but would be happy to fit to the csl for sure ,, could send pictures of them fitted in subframe is you need to see how they look
