NON BMW OEM lips that work on the E30

[der affe]

nothing is going to be a direct bolt on unless it is a a BMW part.
you have to trim the volvo lip (yes im know that you hate it brendon)

you will have to trim the VW ones too.

they attach differently also. more than likely you will have to sheet metal screw it to the valence too. if you live in a drier climate is is no big deal. if you live in the PNW it could lead to rust issues.

the VW lips stab into the bumper horizontally. you will need to trim the tabs so it will sit flush.

hah, stole my pictars. Took me a second to recognise my own car.. That's kinda sad.

BTW, when I did the volvo, I removed the clips for the stock lip and ran bolts through the holes left.

I loved the duckbill spoiler on Elliot's car. I was actually just thinking tonight about trying to maybe do some kind of duckbill spoiler on mine.

I'm so sick of all the available late-model E30 lips.

Does anyone know of any lips that fit on the early valence? I dont like that cabby one, and I dont know if any of the euro lips the the US Valence

My feelings exactly.
Which is why I bought one yesterday.

My lip is technically not oem.... :3

[SynSyx]

what about the infinity lip

[gearheadE30]

One of my favorites; the Mattig tuning lip. Can't find it anywhere, though :(. I've got a volvo lip that I modded with a heat gun to fix the ugly flaring that I'll post up later as well.

[Moto-Mucci]

That's not oem.

I'm going to do one too, as soon as I find one. Gotta go check the yards.

E32 740 lip

E32 740 lip

I've wanted to do that one forever.

Doesn't look as good as I thought it would. But it's also not installed very well, no offense to the owner.

Very cool stuff. After installing my euro valence and putting the early style (w/ brake ducts) lip on and seeing it fit like shit (sagging etc) I have the urge to put something different on my car. Not sure what yet but the passat B3 is leading the pack.... or the early 16v Gti lips. I think it'd have to be modded (extended) to fit correctly, I'll look into that and get back to you.
