euro bumpers

[timninja]

Are euro metal bumpers difficult to find or just expensive?im interested in the swap.

[Ceeker]

not hard to find, just hard to find in very good to excellent condition and look at spending about 500.00 for a set of used ones that will need some work. and new? about 1500.00

[timninja]

Thats tripple the cost of my car when I bought it,haha plastics it is!

What if there were other options?

[timninja]

What about m-tech stuff and mounting?
(I figure I'd ask more questions here then reposting questions)

[timninja]

I didn't see your reply farbin,what do you mean?

[Ceeker]

double it for M-tech product if you can find it unbroken in used condition. a complete M-tech sells used for between 1500-2500 this is what I've seen. so lets say 2k for a complete kit- incl front and rear valance, bumpers, side skirts and spoiler. maybe mounting hardware as well.

Well abrahamsmotive.coms mtech -2 stuff doesn't seem too ridiculously priced it just scares me when the guy says "yeah you just need a good body shop to install it " but hey he could just be playing his cards safe with some universal disclaimer haha

If you are asking about Euro's, most likely you have an early model (which year?). If you can't afford Euro's, most likely you can't afford M-Tech. If you buy M-Tech, destroy a set of plastic before you try to modify the M-Tech to work with an early model. After you destroy M-Tech, buy Euro's and be happy

I have a 86,but thats why I was asking rarity and common found pricing,so that I kinda have an understanding of my options.

I'm not sure what people are referring to by saying Euro bumpers.. Anyway, is ordering from Europe out of the question? try www.ebay.de , try search for "Stoßstange E30". The place is full of them, new and used. Especially if they don't have be OEM.
That's where I'd go looking if I didn't have enough of them already.

My Euro bumps in a million pieces minus trim

[pandaboo911]

My euro bumpers cost me 750$ total, the front is brand new, the rear is close to new. Mtech 1 kits can be had for right around $1000.

The front is a direct swap, only modification needed is for the turn signal connectors. The rear requires drilling 2 holes ( they are already marked on the body, super easy) and sealing up unused holes.

I've got two small dings on the front center & two small dings on the back. I paid about 300ish. Jus missing rear trim. After I get new from & knock out small dents il be around 500 total. Came with new mounts & extra parts
