I was thinking mudflaps at first too, I cut up an old BMW floor mat and was trying to get it positioned but I couldn't figure out a way to make it stay tight against the end of the valance....so now I'm going to make end caps .... if they don't turn out so pretty then at least I'll have something to screw the mud flaps to ;-)

Cut what?my car is an early with plastic bumpers so my bumper sits a little higher now then when it had a diving board . The valance sits about has low as my front lip ,although it kinda hard to tell while my cars all up on jack stands I think it should look good with skirts after its finally done It really required minor cutting... Fits alright ....heres some pictures of a mudflap mock-up I did to hide the gap between valance and fender :-PLast edited by 4evere30; 03-24-2014, 08:16 PM.

what you'll need to find it's a rear apron from Racing Dynamics or some other tuner to cover spare tire/muffler area

TrentW: There's just something so right about a well-built M20 in an E30

so after reading the first 10 pages of this thread I realize my dreams have been crushed, and without being a body tech or paying way too much money, I can't get an M Tech II body kit onto my 87 325is... luckily I got lucky this being my first e30 and my diving boards are already tucked and it doesn't look bad... guess I will have to deal until my car explodes and I buy a post 88 e30

I could read this thread 100 times and still be confused. Can someone tell me nicely if the plastic front bumper would be a direct bolt up to my 1987 325is? Would it have to be 09/1987 or later? I know the rear does not fit without modification. I still don't know what the difference is between the early and late front valance/air dam. Thanks

And does anyone have any idea where to source the parts? ;)
Where to source the parts? Your closest BMW-dealership? Except if they won't sell those in your side of the pond.. I just sold that exact lip to a friend for 5€ :).
Compare it to this. Each valance and lip are a pair, the bit later valance doesn't have an open section in it for feeding the radiator but the lip does..
