    Bumper + Valence Question

    Hey,

    I have an e30 that was recently in a little accident. Here's a picture:

    I have a new painted fender ready to go, but what I'm curious about is the bumper + valence. I thought that since I was going to be replacing them anyway, I might as well get a little upgrade. I'm new to E30s, so I don't know what my options are. I'd really like to go with a plastic bumper, but I've seen so many styles that I don't even know what is possible (or if it is even possible to do). What can I do with an '89 E30 that won't cost me too much?

    Thanks (and I hope this is the right place to post this)

    how much would one spend on a pair of euro bumpers?

    This may seem stupid of me asking you guys since you might quote me $10 or something. I need a legitimate amount from you or someone you know have spent on a pair of euro bumpers. I know its like gold for you in the US because you have to put up with disgusting diving boards. Now I might be getting my hands on a pair of euro bumpers from a donar car that I'm close to buying. Euro bumpers are worthless here in Australia and I think it would be best to sell it overseas at a cheaper price than what you would normally pay. As long as shipping is reasonable which I will have to look into.

        is this an '89 vert? if so, plastic bumpers should bolt up, the clips are all set. if this is a pre '89 metal bumper car, you can replace the front valance/ bumper pretty swiftly to plastc, but the rear needs to be heavily modded

          Do late model valences just bolt up to an '87 sedan? OP, After market options are limited for diving boards, without spending a lot of money or it looking stupid.

            I heard that Victory Auto wreckers is actually having a "tent event" and theyre buying zinnoberrot e30's for $75 now instead of just $20. thats your best bet.
