            Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

              Hi custom e30. The late model front plastic bumper and valance will bolt right up on your vert. No modification needed. The back bumper will require slight modification to the mounting holes but is not a hard job. Good luck with your swap.

                dont listen--the front tow hook needs to be cut and the whole thing bolts up. the trickiest thing on the back bumper is the reaching under the rear to undo the 13mm bolts.

                  swap the bumpers, lower it, and put some gold or nogaro centered weaves on it.

                  That makes for an excellent look.
