    Facelift part one complete

    Way back in May i made this thread: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=110854

    Long story short my car got in an altercation with a guard rail, so I decided it was time to do the plastic bumper swap, which is half done. While the front end was being worked on I decided to do pretty much everything I wanted to do to it at once. So my car as gone:

    from this:


    to this:


    through this:


    and finally to this:











    As you can see, fitment is not perfect, but I am satisfied. From an OEM front, I now have: late model facelift with brand new pieces (all except for bumper) and functional brake ducts, smoked euro smileys w/ HID lows & osram silverstar highs, euro grills, black kidneys, black emblems

    in order to make the front end truly complete, I still want euro bumper trim (sidemarker delete), smoked turns, euro front license plate (does this need its own bracket??), HID bulbs for the fogs (have ballasts), ryan g splitter, and new windshield trim (mine is faded)

    any suggestions on where to get these parts? comments/suggestions welcome

    you can get a lot of those things here: http://www.abrahamsmotorsport.com/e30.htm

    as for the euro plate, you need a special frame/bracket thing. google custom euro plates and you will find several websites from whom you can buy a euro plate with a plate holder.

    dunno about the HID fog stuff. windshield trim you could just paint black or you might be able to find it at pelicanparts.com or the giant sticker on your windshield.

                            very nice. instead of replacing the faded chrome trim, just go to the store and get some flat black paint. It cost me 3 bucks for a can of it. Paint it on, looks SOO much better than yellow/brown trim!
