    euro bumpers

    ok, so i know its been asked a million times, but im looking for e30 euro bumpers. posting in the classifieds hasnt helped. Also, the ones i did find in the classifieds were in bad condition and wanted ridiculous money for it. like 500 bucks for some rusted out euro bumpers. not worth it imo. Now i have a friend that speaks fluent german and is going to check the german ebay and some sites. but do any of you know any easier way to acquire these bumpers? or anyone trying to sell any? ive found threads from a while back where someone is going to get a large amount of them sent here, but they were all gone by the time i looked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    it seems like they are all for sale at once, then don't show up again for months.

    I got lucky and found mine in a salvage yard of all places!

      And they look incredible too!
      unfortunately in Alabama there are very few slavage yards with e30s. i believe there are like two with a couple e30s within reasonable driving distance. apparently they get scrapped because it costs more in labor to pull the parts of the car, than the parts are worth. :/

        You said posting in the classifieds hasnt helped. But i looked and there are no threads in the wanted section from you looking for these bumpers?

          Youre right. I had posted a WTB in some other forums but not this one. I did however use the search function to try and find some for sale. sorry for the misconception.

              I've got a front one for sale, in beautiful shape



              That eta is now totaled from a rear-ender :( but the front is in great shape. Includes all trim also.

              The BBS euro valence is also for sale

              PM me for details

                Be patient. I looked for a set for nearly 2 years and randomly the popped up about 20 miles away from me on CL. ECS Tuning sells reproductions as well but you're upwards of the $1200 range to get them. That still leaves you the valence, brackets, trim, fog lights, brackets, etc. I've had my euro bumps for over a year and a half and have had no luck in finding the right brackets for the early valence.

                  Like he said be patient, the cars are old now and finding a decent set could take a while. I run across them from time to time here in Japan and will keep you in mind when I do.
