    Front that replaces bumper also, similar to BMP part

    Who makes a front valance/spoiler/bumper REPLACEMENT for the E30. From my understanding the BMP front does this, but I don't really like the huge front oil cooler/intercooler opening.....

    Who else offers something that replaces the bumper. If there are several options care to offer which is the lightest.

      Wow here an e30tech and no replies....Must be a dumb request. My bad....

      I'm looking to drop my alum diving board, replace the lower valance, add a spoiler, and reduce weight all at once.
      I'm willing to and actually prefer to pin and/or dzuz fasten this unit on so that I can remove the whole business as one unit...

      Who makes one other than BMP?

          I almost hate to ask, but any experience with the e-bay crap?

              I believe both of the Reiger fronts are. I know the Reiger GTS kit's front bumper replaces the bumper as well as goes right over the valence. I'm not sure on their M3 bumper look though. Hope that helps a bit.

              No longer stock ride height, rolling as low as a daily driver in New England should without worrying about breaking an oil pan. :up:

                  The BMP stuff is "styled" after the Breyton kit. For this reason I was considering it when I was looking into purchasing the Breyton kit form Europe since it would have been much cheaper.

                  But the "version 2" or "version fugly" as I like to call it, looks like ass unless you have something to fill up the hole like an intercooler, and then it still looks like ass. Unforutnately the version 1 is not longer produced, at least I can't find it anywhere.

                  The "Evo" style kits on ebay are full replacements (valance/bumper). I'm not sure how they mount, I'd assume quite poorly or not at all. Most of the rest are just for the lower valance portion and fit over it like a cap, atleast on the late model cars. I've had the Mtec and Alpina Ebay replicas. Both fit well. but were too fragile for a daily driver being made out of FRP.

                  I just bit the bullet and bought the ACS, it wasn't cheap, but it was well worth it.

                  There are genuine HARTGE and BBS front lower valences floating around on ebay right now. One was still under 200 last time I checked.

                      I sure wish someone would buy the shit from www.raceonusa.com and tell us if it fits/looks good/doesn't suck firsthand. All of the opinions I have seen are secondhand.

                      I have no clue if it fits over the stock bumper or if it replaces it.

                      Closing SOON!

                          I wonder how the raceon sideskirts attach...I'd consider them, but I don't wanna drill holes in my door...
