      I'm now actually thinking about fabbing one up from scratch with sheet metal, very similar to the stock unibody rear apron of the 88+ cars. I have an 89 325i shell in my driveway, I think what I'm going to do is cut it off, and model something around that, maybe make it a little different.

        I thought, i'd just bump this thread instead of starting a new one



        I got it (below) for free and I don't really know anything about it since I can't find any branding...:( the plan is to repair, prime, and maybe paint delphin. I am not sure after if I am going to put it on or sell it. I am conflicted because it would be the only aftermarket body piece that'll be on my car which I am not really too keen on.
        I have an early 1987 325is with is front airdam, is sideskirts, and is trunk spoiler, all oem pieces. This rear apron though, will complete the look apparently since BMW never made a rear apron for the diving board cars. Or so I've heard, if someone knows otherwise please inform.
        here are the pictures of what I have....





        Also, what brand sideskirts are riveted to the rocker? I will take pictures of the sideskirts another day. I only took the rear apron because I could possibly use it, but the sideskirts I may just remove and see if anyone wants them. They're I am assuming a match to the rear apron pictured
        They're a little bulkier than is sideskirts but they're riveted to the top of the rocker panels as far as i can see.

        and this is a picture of the sideskirts (not actual but for reference, thanks white325is)

          Looks like a Breyton rear apron.

            hmmmm i've seen that picture before, it is very similar. I've yet to see one on an early car though, except for the car that I pulled it off of.

            **in my earlier post I added a picture of the sideskirts**

                  As of the rear apron too. Yours is missing the cover for the tow hook.

                    yeah I figured something was supoosed to go there, I may have to fab one up or buy one somewhere.

                    I am not too keen on the sideskirts though, but I am sure someone may be.

                      The front airdam wasn't on the car, nor was the rear spoiler. There were holes in the trunk though for it.
