      keep the euro bumpers and paint them body color.. no sense wasting your time putting plastic on a henna car when euro bumpers are already much more rare. (and no, you wouldn't be the first).

            euros are already different, what, 3-4 people on the forum have them? there are many thousands of cars with plastic bumpers in the USA, they aren't that special.

                    The last piece that I needed (passenger side rear corner - no rust) was mailed on Monday. :twisted:
                    And I bought brand new hardware for both a couple of months ago so I should be set once I get them prepped and off to the paintshop.

                      Yeah, no shit Ken. Your car is going to completely change looks when you get them on. I can't wait.

                            Painted euro bumpers is my favorite style of bumper for any E30.
                            The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

                              Are you keeping your car the same color?
