    Euro rear bumper swap

    Is the Euro rear bumper swap pretty straightforward on an DB bumper equipped E30? I'm in the process of acquiring on for my '86 coupe.

    Thank you.

    pretty sure there is some drilling involved, but the dimple is already there.

      You have to drill 1 extra hole on each side for the bumper bracket.

        Good to know, thank you. Anything else needed aside from the bumper itself & brackets?

        Beautiful E30 on your signature BTW MR 325.

              I've seen the ECS kit but I came across a rear one locally so I picked it up last night. This thing is light & feels like it wouldn't take a hit anywhere near as well as the DB piece. I'm almost debating if I should even install it & just go the Lipo route. The eternal form or function debate rages on.
