With or Without??
I've been thinking about removing the rear wing for some time now and while cleaning the car yesterday i thought I'd see what it looked like, so i got the socket set out and took it of.
I must admit that i like it, make a change IMO.
What do you think??

I'm with theotherphil at the moment make it look very different from every other scoob on the road, mind you the missus say it looks like a Mondeo but what does she know it took her 20 mins to realise I'd take it off.
I'm definitely not getting a bigger wing.
PS: phil is that a BMW boot lip you have like RON's car??? if so how much was it and what model is it made for e46??

Yeah, it comes already primed but shouldn't cost too much to paint and have the original holes welded and bootlid painted. I had all the dents and scratches removed from the rear doors, wings, bumper and then painted. Bootlid welded and painted with the spoiler for £250
Here's the part numbers for reference:
M Spoiler - B51.71.7.893.671
Tape - B5171.7.901.759
Total cost £86.01

till you come to change lanes lol
i removed mine when it was in for spraying and i contempleted leaving it off , but after having a 'spirited' run up the M5 spoilerless i soon changed my mind
i have bought a wrx bootlid with small spoiler though, i use that travelling to drag strips, then just take the spoiler off when i'm there . . . when i remember me deep sockets,lol.
but gotta say , yours looks awesome de-spoilered
