Red Plate Filler

[xwill112x]

its the original plate filler than came out for late models. i have a pic of one in my owners manual for my e30.

[Hey-U]

Is that one currently on eBay? That actually looks pretty good.

It sold about 6 weeks ago.

Who is the original manufacture that made these before replicas were made if any. I used to see these once in a while in Lebanon on E30's when I was like 12, I'm 19 now.

why didn't our cars come stock with these?

We have a couple, these are all for the late models, above one is for US plate, below two for Euro Plate. Also have a early model one...

i am alone in thinking these look awful compared to a black plate filler?

[bmw325csi]

the euro one would look good if you painted the middle black

You are not alone, no. They are entirely in keeping with the 1980s Germany look, though. One's opinion about that generally is pretty strong either way. Mine is not positive.

true, I do think they're really cool, just like Kamei hood splitters, just don't like the look. To each it's own.

I can't make up my mind. I like because it is different and period but if everbody had them my thoughts could easily go the other way. The black filler is so clean and you can never go wrong with clean. There is a black one with the same shape as the red one that looks the best imho.

I have since gone with the black euro plate filler. But here are some pics from when I rocked the "other" one:

I dunno; those always make me think of some of the older GM cars with lights all across the back... That's not really a good thing.

[ck_taft325is]

Not thrilled. Heh, some rare parts baffle me. No matter how rare it is, if it looks like a big blemish on my car, I can't justify it.

I did once have a dream of gathering all the rare parts I could, finding a relatively "rare" of some fashioned e30 and rocking all of it. All at once.

I've got one for early model lamps that my dad used on an '84 318i. I think it was a Kamei piece, will get pics soon.
