    1988 e30 09/87 build date plastic bumper swap

    Hi guys, I am looking for photos oh how late model e30s plastic bumpers mount to the trunk sheet metal. I want to buy a 09/87 e30 that has late model tail lights, wheel arches, and front and rear valance. But I am unsure if the late model plastic bumper guides will bolt to the car correctly and its been hard to get photos from the seller. For those that do not know on late models, there is a plastic guide behind the wheel arches that positions the ends of the plastic bumpers https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/763...r-51129059109/ then on the inside of the trunk there is a rectangular metal bracket that those guides bolt to https://www.ebay.com/p/1822212509?iid=174174762147
    Can anyone provide photos of inside their trunk so I can see what the sheet metal is supposed to look like to support these brackets?

    In the photo I attached to the post you can see the metal bracket below the fuel cap and behind the wheel arch. I need to see how that bracket is attached to the body of the car, I would assume there are some holes and bolts inside the truck on the sheet metal to hold that thing on but it's very unclear and I can't seem to find any photos anywhere.
