Will this fit over a diving board bumper?

[BigD]

I have the opportunity to pick this up for $225. The owner claims it's an Evo2 M3 bumper, doesn't say who its made by. My eS's front valence was missing when I bought it so I wouldn't mind slapping something nice over the metal guts there. But I've never dealt with body kits. Is this a good deal? Also, how do you mount these things? Would it fit over my diving board? Should I tuck them first? Or would it not fit at all? If it would, how do I mount it?

Thanks guys!

That bumper will not fit onto your car without a lot of work. First of all, it is made for an m3 which has fender flares, so even if you are able to get the bumper to mount, the sides won't sit next to the fenders. There will be a gap on each side.
Next, mounting that bumper is not as simple as bolting to your divingboard. You would basicly have to convert your front end into an m3 by using all of the m3 bumper shocks, mounts, brackets, and whatnot.

And I can't say how that piece mounts because it appears to be an fiberglass replica, so you're on your own.

If you were to put out the work (which would be a bunch) that would look pretty damn hot.

Just build some brackets and a bumper-like platform (or skeleton?) for it to fit onto, and it can fit. But it won't fit OVER your diving board, it would fit IN PLACE of it, after lots of fabrication.

Yeah but it would still have a divingboard rear bumper.. how funky would that look..

that looks like the kit that's sold on ebay which is supposed to fit on non m3s, i emailed the guy asking questions and his replies were kinda shady. I wouldnt' buy it

Thanks a lot for the info guys! Looks like I'll pass.

Hey neighbor! Can you recommend a shop around here that will do the rear subframe and trailing arm bushings on an E30 quickly for a good price (and how much if you know)? I want to swap in all urethane, and the subframe bushings are toast.

Hey I want a PNW sig too! :)
