What about the VIN Vehicle Indentifaction Number location? I know of the one on the Dash area, but the second one is right where you have removed. Won't that raise legal issues?

Actually you can shorten the nose cone as per 87-89 3,2 G50 and you will gain about 6-8 cm narrower nose cone...

But your work is also looks very nice,
