        Well the stock lower valance is part of the unibody so that might be kinda hard to remove. Unless you plan on going through all the trouble jordan did you wont be fitting plastic bumpers to your 325e. Well, I guess you could do what Dan Pinder did but that looked worse than the diving boards.

        Go Euro bleyatch.

            There is no spoon.

            Any pre88 car is going to be a major whore to put post88 bumpers on and look good. And there is no one site for the euro "shiz". I have pictures and have done it and Greg is the hookup on used "shiz".

              would anybody around the sacramento area that knows what there doing be willing to do it? if any of them see this post. See how much they would want for it.

                  that's a good price for the front bumper and valance. i was quoted $400 from bav auto recycling a while back, which included a used iS lip.

                    Expect to do some major cutting and remolding to get Plastic bumpers to fit on the rear of Pre88 cars. And Ryan, i'm not familiar with Dan pinder, care to explain?

                      For the amount you'll pay for the parts, then pay a bodyshop to install them, and then paint them, you can sell your car and buy a late-model E30.

                          There is no rear valence on the 88-on cars. Like Ryan said, it's part of the body.
