I want to install euro bumpers....

I am looking into putting euro bumpers on my '87 325e. Do I need to change out either the front or rear valance or just bolt them up with some extra hole drilling? Thanks.

You do not need the European valance for just installing the bumpers. You will need to drill like two whole and thats about it. There also will be a few extra wholes in the US valance.

Now if you want to install a front airdam than you need the European Valance. Unless you want to cut up your US valance.

even then it wont really work. The european valance doesnt slope back like the US one did so it wouldnt support parts built for the european one. My Alpina dam is kinda pressed against the european valance and that is what gives it its strength.
