Before & After Bumper Tuck Pics?

Dont risk it! Earlier in the thread there was a guy who posted up and indicated that he accidentally inhaled the vaporized shock oil that is within DB bumper shocks and that caused him to have asthma. Another report of getting misted in the eyes.

Go to the wreckers/ breakers (pick and pull) and remove one from a DB e30. Then while its off the vehicle wrap it in a plastic bag. Insert drill inside bag and cup around the opening where your hand is inside operating the drill. Wear eye protection. Then just drill through the shock tube and you wont have as much worry from the shock oil as it is contained within the plastic bag.

so i really want to tuck both front and rear DBs, but the guy i bought my car from backed into a trailer. so the right side is already pushed in, and the DB is shifted to the left just a little bit. If i drill into the left bushing since it is under so much pressure would it just blow? would it be dangerous to do? im not sure what to do..

I'm glad that I found this thread! (sorry for the necro-bump)

Gonna do this over the weekend... or hell, tonight if I can find an extension cord.

It's not warped badly, but when I screw in the screw through it to the frame it sticks up (strongly) from the bumper surface and doesn't want to even bend down to touch the DB bumper.

Is it warped? If so...glue, c-clamps (to hold it), maybe sink a screw if you have to and then cover it.

What is the trim on top of the bumper called, I cannot Get it to sit on the bumper. Ideas?

Agreed looks good. The pre 88 cars are missing that lower rear apron. Car looks so empty without it. Even the m3 e30 has a rear apron for a early year 88 m3

This is one of the best I have seen.

Anyone know where can I get the lower part of the rear bumper? it just look so much better when you look at the back? How much will that be around? Please help. Thanks
