Bumpers, bumpers, bumpers!

i used the half bottom of a e36 rear bumper cover and made an e30 rear apron. doesnt differ too much from some out there

Any pictures? And how good was this fit up? This is actually a really good idea if the body lines match pretty well.

Are there any more common kits that would work with what I am planning? I just want the look of the m technic whatever, lol atleast a rear valence ya know

What diving board rear plastic valances would be reasonable?

Convertibles can use Mtechnic 1 or 2 without problems

Mtechnic 1 for euro bumpers
Mtechnic 2 for plastic bumpers

yes, yes, yes but it's going to be hard to find one and also it requires expensive, partially-NLA bumper trim.

Check me. So from my understanding, my diving boarded 86 can be easily bolt on converted to the smaller euro chrome or sport painted bumpers, and the late plastic bumpers require the hard work? ALSO, if I bolt on the euro (international) chrome bumpers, can i easily install some sort of technic kit?

I would like this if it wasn't ridiculously priced.

Got front valance installed, now thinking I need a rear valance and maybe sideskirts for my diving board bumpers. Looked at Abraham, but I don't see what I need. Please be specific. Thanks!

How do I install plastic valance only? Still issue of screwing in shroud.

I am away from my computer, being lazy!

Different diving board shocks

i skimmed through the pages and didnt see anything about the differences between early model vert bumpers (DB) and early model coupe/4dr bumpers (DB) there is a slight length difference as i did the simple swap on my 2dr....

having trouble uploading the before and after pics but the thread i did it on is pretty short and right to the point.

wrong section?lol

[timninja]

So ive done the plastic rear bumper swap and im wondering if there is an easier way to correct the rear bumpers "extensions" in the wheel arches,has anyone rolled their fenders into it,or chopped the access and slapped a fender flare over it?
