I have a quick question about Euro bumpers...
I know that Euro bumpers are a direct replacement for '87 and older alluminum bumpers, but can you put the Euro bumpers onto an '88? i wasn't sure because on an '88, you can easily swap plastic bumpers, so I assumed Euro bumpers wouldn't fit.
Also, do Euro bumpers fit onto all year cabrios, or not?
Thanks.

you can put plastic bumpers on a pre 88' car. the front requires slight modifacation and the rear needs a little more (you need to cut the bumper so it doesn't stick out further than the wheel well, then sand/shape it so it looks smooth) so if you have the resources you can put any bumper on any car. just thought i would update a bit so someone new here doesnt lose hope on having a better looking e30.Last edited by motorprestige; 03-04-2006, 08:11 PM.
"Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

They will work with your existing lower valance, but upgrading to the euro valance is advised if you arent also including a body kit such as Mtechnic 1/Hartge/etc.

For those of you who haven't found this, Jordan's
and Jason's writeups are linked below.
Eurospeed is right - in addition to a front bumper, you need
to convert the 88 or later valence/airdam if you have a pre-88
car. You may also have to hacksaw off the toe-hooks on
the front of your diving-board bumper car.
On the rear, you need to shave/dremel off the bumpers
where they go into the wheel well because they will be
too long. And you need to get yourself a rear apron from
somewhere or it will look really bad.
As far as I can tell you will also need the front and rear
shocks and hardware etc from the plastic-bumpered car.
