    Well it is an 85 eta. Those aren't nasty sidemarkers, they are character!

    I think they may be mtech 1. The whole kit may be, but the rear does def not look it. Not sure what it is. Have to wait for an email back I guess.

      Okay guys.. Time to shed some light on pre 88 body mods.... Check out the tuck on my rear bumper. I made new bumper mounts because i didnt want to jack up my shocks, it is tucked in about 3 inches. I am running the RD rear apron. No interference. I have kamei side skirts. These are like M-Tech 1, but they are not as speculated(very similar to "Beej's' sides, but they flow towards the arch a bit more). As far as I know they are not made anymore, but it is possible to find similar ones. They give the car enough line to flow into the rear skirt from a side view. The RD looks awesome on fred and ryans cars. I guess it looks okay on mine. I dont think it is too low, but that is just my opinion. I was just looking at the BavAutosport magazine and they still offer the RD rear. It is made for the 84-91 e30s, and in the picture they have it on a plastic bumpered car. When I get the bumpers from DrMcDave, I am going to fit the RD to the plastic bumper.

      Personally I am a fan of the RD, and I also compliment the zender. As for sides, I think 'ix' sides fitted to an e30 are cool because they actually flow into the fender arches, but I am assuming they will only work on 88+ cars, unless someone is really crafty..

        For future reference.....All M-Tech I pieces (frt apron, rear apron, sideskirts) have 3 grooves running across the bottom, making them very easy to distinguish.

        Nice E30 EtaSport!!

          What kind of rear skirt is that? Looks to good to be aftermarket!

          PS I may be buying this car, just shot the guy an email. It is an eta, but it is eurospec! Hopefully I can buy it then save some money for an engine swap. Will save me lots of money trying to get my car to look right!
          That car has the nasty side markers in the fenders.
          Are those M-tech I skirts?
          that is a stock colour coded rear, no rear apron at all, those are mtec 1 side skirts and that doesnt have any side markers, because if what u mean are side markers on the back is just reflection

            That cant be a stock color coded rear, it is an 85. The metal "valence" out back only came when the plastic bumpers arrived. I think. Unless if that is a euro thing!

              what the hell are you talking about? that is a normal rear "valance" for a 87 and older car. It is just painted.
