Bumpers, bumpers, bumpers!

The diving board part. Would just that need to be swapped off?

What are you asking more specifically? Maybe it's jsut me, but I'm confused by your question.

Car in question 88 325is


I understand that it just swaps in and out. Do I need just the shocks and the actual bumper part...and the valence/middle piece?

Thanks.

Anyone know if fogs from a us 1987 is will fit the holes in the euro valence?

That's how your rear looks when you take off the DB bumper. No modification needed.

Well how convenient. :D

Thanks for the info guys, I now know the names/parts to add to my wish list. Hopefully I can get 'em sometime.

Is the rear valance just off of any 83-85 euro car too? I dun't even know if that's a valance, whatever it is.

Damn, well I'll start looking when I have the money I suppose. What valence has the foglight holes for euro's? Like an is or es or what? It looks like the valance in kronus' sig doesn't have integrated fogs.

That pic is old, I had the US diving board valence at that point. Currently have the one JasonC posted.

It's off of any 83-85 euro car. And it uses the lip with the brake duct holes in it. The lip is on any 85 and back e30.

[87e30]

Thanks. What does it come off? What's the lip on the bottom?

Sorry, really dumb questions I'm sure.

[JasonC]

This is what the valance on that red car is. If you don't want fog lights. They sell covers for the holes.

[kronus]

yes the early euro valence has fog light holes.

Also the words euro bumpers and cheap DO NOT WORK in the same sentence. You will have to cover the entire world looking for some as there are not many sets here in the states and most are owned by people who know what they have...

Good luck with your quest, as I am still looking for a complete front and am currently sourcing one out of the motherland!

:mrgreen:

Yeah, I ended up getting my front one shipped over from Germany... Rear one, 9 months later, from Florida. Spent more than $500 total including the valence.

It takes a long time and a lot of dedication to assemble a complete kit if you don't get lucky (like Jean).

It looks like it has fog holes? Maybe stock for euro? Whatever it is, I want it. I actually like it better than mtech. WEll I'll tell myself so my wallet stays happy. But I really want to know what it is.

PS. Where is the best place to look for euro bumpers cheap?

Name that front/rear valence!

PS: I know that those are euro bumpers.

Those are euro bumpers with the stock front valence. Early front euro valence for 83-85 year models. 86-87 is different, which is very similiar to the US 88+ front valence.
