    Which BBS front spoiler/air-dam should I get for my EURO bumper???

    So I want to get a BBS front spoiler for my early model e30 with EURO chrome bumpers. However, I'm not sure which BBS spoiler type I need:

    Type 1 (US style?):

    I currently have an early two-piece steel valance like the one in the picture above. This spoiler will fit my US valance perfectly with its two side "cut-outs". But I'm not sure if the narrow euro bumper will sit flush with the spoiler plastic. Can someone comment on fitment of the above BBS spoiler type with a euro chrome bumper?

    Type 2 (euro style?):

    This BBS spoiler is typically found on euro cars with chrome bumpers. I'm pretty sure this will work. It's very hard to find in good condition though.

    So right now I have a chance to buy Type 1 (US style) but I'm not sure if it will fit my euro chrome bumper. Can anyone confirm for SURE that it will or will not fit properly? That is, do I NEED to get Type 2 spoiler or will the Type 1 work just fine?

    Thanks!

    hey man i just got your pm...the one pictured at the top is the one i have and it does fit with euro bumpers perfectly...and also should fit with DB's as well...but the one you have will indeed fit your euro bumpers

    i have mine on with a standard US valance underneath i dont think you need to but i did anyway.

    here are a few pix i have of it on my car...its in storage right now and having some stuff done to get it ready for summer
