M3 front bumper/valance on non-m

[Rocla]

Fiberglass replicas that fit directly to non-M body are available.

I found this over on e30.de Looks pretty good all done up nice.

if that just had some side skirts that went down to the level of the airdam, it would look pretty good.

And no matter what the fuck happens, you really just need to get the monstrosity you have now off the front.

I consider myself more on the purist side but I dont think its something you shouldnt do. I think itll look good. Theres someone on DTMPower that has done it. I believe his name is "ANDRU" with the umlauts above the U. I say got for it. Especially since your car is black and you wont notice the door moldings not being body color and the ///M3 bumper not having a bumper molding.

Yep thats me, Im under a different name here. I tossed the M bumper last september for the plastic bumper swap. I didnt mind the looks, but I did a real crappy job getting it on there. It certainly is doable. Heres a pic before I got paint.

I honestly think it would be really hard to pull it off cleanly without spending the kind of money where you could buy something like the M-tech 2 front that looks really good. Just think about the turn signals w/ pigtails, bumper, new sidemarkers, valance, shocks, fogs and another other stuff you need. I don't know that I would go through the trouble.

Agreed.

I am somewhat more of a purist my self. I think this mod will look great on any standard e30.

i've got a set of m3 sides at work if you would like....drop me a pm

im not sure if the m skirts will work because of how it flares out when it reaches the fenders?

i have a m-tech rear valance, so thats not a problem.

Ok now that weve gotten the ol lets not hurt anyones feelings part out of the way...

I think it will look goofy unless you put some sideskirts on and modify the rear valence. Just wont flow well otherwise.
