Gonna atempt e36 front bumper on my 85 318i!! (pics on pg 3)

looks like a pretty sweet project. It should look pretty nice if it's fitted on right. Good luck with all the work.

Interesting.

Another one of those 'I wouldn't try it' ideas...but look forward to see the outcome.

Um.... You could have at least held it up to the front of the car.

Tease. Oh wait have you even started?

pics are here

im gonna flatten out the top of the bumper and make it more like a e30! And i have the sides fixed, i stretched them out to the fender.

But here are a couple of pics:


Here's what ive been driving around thanks to the damn racoon :evil:

For the record, it wont look *horrid* straight on. Its from above, and the sides that its going to look horrid.

That looks like an e30 with that BBS front bumper.

I mean I give you props for trying to be creative and all, but i dont like it at all.

But again, your car.

everything is going well, i have tons of pics. right now i just finished making some mounts and im gonna mount it on, then cut the sides off. Its about 1.5 in too wide, so i will try to cut .75 in on both sides, then fiberglass the sides back on.

i know fiberglass is strong but do you guys think that'll be strong enough to hold for a long time?

pics are coming soon

You realize that fiberglass does not stick to plastic right? The first time the plastic flexes the fiberglass with crack right off.

ah just buy a Honda if you want that look

What?

Goodluck with the project bro. I think it will be pretty badass just because its original.

Its really annoying how all anybody does is hate on this board.
Do it, and make it look good.

Plastic welder maybe?

That looks cool get er done.

Here is a quick photoshop. Get it to look right and it is going to be hot. Good luck with the fitment and make it nice.

you think you can photoshop it white?
even though im no where near worrying about the color schemes, i will have to decide wether to do all white (bumper, trim, lip, grill), trim black all else white, trim & lip black, bumper white, black grill, black lip & trim. There are so many combinations.

i thought of it not sticking, so ill probably use a small strip of metal in the back as a brace to hold the 2 pieces together. Any ideas on what to use to cover up the line and hold the 2 pieces together? I know you did a lot of custom work on your rear bumper.

You should take the motor from the 325 while you're at it. :P

Im curious to see how this goes.

We have another crazy m10'er on board.
