WTB: Racing dynamic or mtech 2 style rear apron

[Kwaaahhh]

All verts have the "late model" rear end. This refers to the design of the wheel well, not the lack of an apron. The vert's that came with DB's( up to mid-90's mfg date?) don't have a apron/valance as you know, making it look unfinished if you convert to plastics.

Here is a pic of mine I just installed. Sorry for the crappy shot, if you want a better one, PM me. This is from Filip at Eurostyle in Canada. I don't have his number, but look on maxbimmer. Call him, don't email, he never seems to check his email.

Thanks for clearing that up. Guess I got it a bit mixed up, but yeah I have a 90' vert and the progress of upgrading to the plastic. The rear looks a bit naked and thats exactly what I'm looking for. Looks great on your car man! :up: Pm'd!

Here is a pic of mine I just installed.

So that looks just like the MTech rep from Eurostop. Did it fit niecly, or was fiberglass work involved before paint? Prep I expect, but actual reforming is my question. Did you do it yourself, or pay a pro?

Looks terrific, BTW.

I am going to be doing one on an early coupe, so I am sure I get to mod the arches, or where the valence meets the body, or some shit.

Considering you have access to a body shop you maybe able to make this work. Its not in great shape but could clean up nice.

PM me if interested. Im not using it and its just taking up room in the garage.

[Kwaaahhh]

Is that the zender levent?

[ZM Blue Devil]

yup, thats the zender.

[Kwaaahhh]

Thanks for the offer levent, but I think the rd or mtech 2 would suite better for the plastic rear. I sort of like how it extends lower and give the rear a little more curves.

Just got the car home, I'll get some pics up in a little. ;)

Having problem with the fuel gauge, going to do quick search and see if I can fixt that! :up:

Luke,

Sorry I haven't checked this thread until today. You should have PM'd me! Thanks for the kind works, I did prep, paint and install it myself. With your experience building your woofer boxes, this will be a no brainer.

I chose eurostyle due to some of the feedback from others on this forum. I believe your buddy Jordan S. thought highly of Filip's work. If he liked it, then it must be ok.

Yes, you will need to do some prep work: apron will need some plastic putty and sanding. The bumper cover will need to have the bottom edge shaved to make a seamless fit to the apron.

I wouldn't call it "reforming" but "adjusting" to make sure everything lines up correctly. This did require some adjusting/stretching but this apron is flexible to accept a bend to match your bumper cover.

Prep, paint and then let cure for at least a week to prevent any damage to the fresh paint while you are messing about fitting the two together.

I started by making sure the apron and bumper cover was even at the wheel area. I then clamped and drilled holes(there is a dremel attachment that will work in this tight area) and used self-tapping screws for the sides and worked my way back and used a bolt/washer/nut combination for the back section. When finished, attach the bumper cover/apron to the fiberglass bumper using those plastic grommets.

I also fashioned a strut to secure the bottom edge of the apron by the wheel well to the body. I didn't want my apron flapping about at speed like some ricer's bodykit. I will attach a photo. I simply used round aluminum stock from HD or Lowes. I bent the aluminum bar and used a torch to heat up the ends. While still hot(use gloves) pound the ends flat. This is to create a flat area to drill through and attach to the apron(see where on the apron lip) and body. I used self-tapping screws to the body and a bolt/washer/rubber washer/bolt to the apron.

I hope this helps.
