plastic bumper to euro chrome bumper swap

[Eric]

just the front. What am I getting myself into?

At least a euro or early front valance.

You can do euro with late front valance, there will just be a big gap. I did it here.

Well, my front yard, not my e30. Check post #2.

I think I pulled it off better last summer... Sorry Farbin.

There are gaps, but if your shits clean, its not that bad, just rough. And my whole car was/is rough while I collect parts.

I never said it looked good. That front euro bumper was super wonky.

well, I have a Mtech I front bumper, so that cap wont be there.

Do you need early style front shocks or something? Sorry Its been a while since I took a bumper off, but I remember the plastics having a special doo-hickey that bolted to the frame.

There is no shock for the euro's. They only have a solid bracket.
