US Steel Gray so not changing it. We had the color here for two years so not going to change it.
I can post the full conversion here as it is more than just body parts.

very nice .. but why the CSL badge ? Its like all the superb Porsche 964 'RS' conversions , usually better than the real thing, but then spoiled when they are badged as an RS ... the car is great in its own way, shame to label it as a fake

Applying a badge has no bearing on a CSL (the badge was optional, you either chose to have one or not when the initial order was placed, this resulted in quite a significant number remaining un-badged)
So I don't really see the point, just a waste of a badge, if I'm being honest! IMO it would make more of a statement without!

I already know posting here will get the most flack of any group about the badge. The badge was a full vanity addition as I noted in the build thread. It will always be a controversial addition but to each their own, like slamming the car to the ground.
State side we get shafted from getting all the great cars, CSL in point. To take the time, effort and funds to make a conversion with all the OE bits and not just cosmetic is rare (or insane depending on who you ask). Then again I went with upgrades and CSL owner could do as well. Love or hate the badge I never claim to be a real one. I always tell people as close as real as we can get in the states. I have done my best to keep the build in class for the M3 and the CSL. So wit that, fire away and hate or enjoy the time and effort to make something we never had here in the sates. 10 years of ownership thread. http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=412413

This work come from a passionate guy. That is the essential.
The CSL badge seems to me more strange due to the car color in fact ... |
