    Euro bumpers

    Like most of you, I long for the day when, I can afford a set of euro bumpers. Which leads me too my next question, has there ever been a company to make affordable copies? Would there be interest in something like that? Now obviously it would effect the value of the real articles but i would buy a set if they where good enough quality. What do you guys and gals think? Lets discuss....

      I imagine it would be difficult to beat the price of a used set, but by all means, go for it!

      I am amazed there isn't a good, reasonably priced solution to fixing how UGLY the rear diving board bumper is.

      Cheap euro reproductions would certainly be an easier improvement than modding plastic bumpers.

          I feel that the vibes of a euro bumper is much more then the look. Its owning a part of an e30 that somehow has made the long haul, and now oversees. To replicate it, i feel would not only ruin the market for these parts but also render them more useless.

          Trust me, i would love to own a set myself.. but not bad enough to ruin the only last remaining pieces of original e30 euroness.

            I must be crazy, but I like tucked diving boards LESS than un tucked bumpers.

                    So Made in ? Most don't want a cheap stamped in China product on their car.

                      For fronts and rears, you are looking at 1050 plus shipping.

                      I wish there was a cheaper, un finished option (no chrome). That would certainly save some $.

                        There is: buy a plastic bumper car.

                            looks to me like it's $399 + shipping?

                              That is for the front only
                              What it feels like owning an e30:
