    Can I get these bumpers/skirts for my 84 318i?

    I was wondering if and where I can get these front and back bumper/skirts for my 84 318i? It would look much nicer! The bumpers/skirts I am referring to are like the ones on Digitalwave's ride or the one on the car in the below link. What car is this/year?

    I have a photoshop request regarding this posted in that section titled "PS request? bumpers/skirt " if you guys would like to check it out. Here's a pic of my car. Thanks

      I briefly read through the DIY info. It seems like my front end is a little different then what I saw though. So I can use E30 bumpers from 88+?

            Ok I read it. I assume I would finish understanding certain things once I was in the middle of it all... So my question now is, what year bumper/valence can I use? Can I use the bumper on say Eric's 89 325i? Or even the one on your black 327i? Which year would be a better fit or whatever? Thanks

                The front is a direct swap. The rear is some work. Lots of work.
                The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

                    you will need front and rear plastic bumpers from '89 and up.

                    also you will need the front valence (under the bumper) from '88 and up.
