If I was ever going to go with M3 fenders, I'd want to do the real ones front and rear (bolt the fronts in and graft in the rears), along with the front/rear bumpers and side skirts.
I know that you don't have to use that many rivets on the IE ones, but it's mainly the shape of them that I hate, they're way too round and bulged out. I really like the look and style of the ones on that 510, which is also why I'm not really into just flaring out the existing metal fenders. I like the look of the ones above, and beyond that, doing a full pull and flare of the stock sheet metal would require a ton of body and paint work. Not that I would just sawzall the stock ones out and bolt the new ones on, of course I would make it clean.
The Eurostop ones aren't bad, and I know I sound like the pickiest person in the world, but they're a bit larger than what I'm after. I'm wondering if the ones on that 510 came from something else.

Stupid question...if you're willing to do that why not just go with the M3 fenders? fronts bolt on and the fiberglass rears can be riveted on. Or what about aggressively rolling out the stock fenders.Leave a comment:

Josh, on the Ireland style flares there is no "right" amount of rivets. It's up to the installer.
Eurostop also sells a different style flare, not sure if it's your cup-o-tea.Leave a comment:

Looks like that front bumper could fit an e30. Under $200 shipped on ebay.Leave a comment:

E30 overfenders
Does anyone know if there are other styles of overfenders available for the E30? All I can find are this style, and I don't like them at all. Way too many rivets, and way too round/bulbous:
I'm much more partial to this style. Less hardware, much more of an angled style to them:
Anyone know if 510 fender wells are close to the same size as the ones on an E30? Lord knows I'm not beyond modifying something to make it fit. :D
