Can you fit euro bumpers in a 2-door e30?

[RobE30]

Title says it. Going on a roadtrip friday and can't use my wifes subaru, so I need to fit a euro valance and front and rear bumps in my 2 door. Think it'll happen?

[TDE30]

Yeah, the bumper themselves are in three separate pieces (for each front and rear bumper) and a valence should be able to be fit diagonally through the front and rear seating areas. As long as you don't have a passenger, it should work fine.

I fit a late model valence in the back seat/rear parcel shelf of my 2 door eta. I can't imagine that the euro valence and bumpers couldn't fit.

I knew that the bumpers come apart, I'm just trying to plan for worst case scenario (the bolts are rusted and won't come apart). Glad to hear that I can fit the valance tho. Thanks guys

Actually the rear bumper is one piece.

Actually no it isn't. The rear bumper breaks down the same as the front one. Check under those chrome cover things, there are screws there.

I fit two plastic bumpers, and an early IS valence in my vert with the top up.

Yes it will fit, but it won't be comfortable.

Doh! My bad. I was thinking of the trim pieces:???:

Eh, it happens. I'm super jealous of your car, by the way. :)

it should fit, I shipped side skirts in my car last summer and it worked out okay.

I don't really care about comfort @ this point. I'm leaving @ 3:30am and driving 600 miles round trip to get the bumpers and valance. Hope to get everything and get home, get it all installed (if nothing is broken) and be in Bethlehem for dinner by 6pm. Should be an interesting day;)

It's going to be a hellish day. I had the back end resting on the rear shelf and the front just behind my shifter.

It felt like an extremely poorly designed arm rest that kept sliding forward and hitting the shifter. I had to have my arm twisted at a really bad angle to shift.

Since these are euro bumpers I'm sure you could take them apart and just throw the pieces in the trunk.

Where are you going anyway?
