It looks like M3 front and rear bumpers for a non-M3 car...

Seems nice - teamed with some nice sideskirts (ix?) might look really well. Those sideskirts that guy's selling are horrible BTW.

What do you think?

[TexasTerp]

Those sideskirts look like crap! It's most likely fiberglass so I'm always weary about that, especially overseas shipping. Most of the purists will yell at me but I would definitely make a fake m3 if I could. I absolutely LOVE the m3 body style, but can't afford the 15k for a decent one so if You do do it for 5k I say why not. It's your car!

[Mastrcruse]

doubt it will look that good when you put it on..probably a lot of work by a body shop to make it look perfect.

Basing it off of that car in their pictures, I don't think its that bad. A big NO on those sideskirts (if they come with it). Other then getting different sides it might not be too bad.

[thornado327i]

You buy everything separately.

I'm not planning any bodywork now anyway - maybe may/june.

especially overseas shipping

You know, I'm not taking it overseas...

And yeah - for that price it's definately fiberglass... 1zl=0,33USD [EDIT]: 1zl=0,25USD - it changes overnight...

I like them, the wing also. The skirts are hideous. Where are they located? Poland? Damn I just looked up the conversion. If that is is Zloty then they are $100 each

Hard to tell, since the pics in the links you've posted have been Photoshopped to hell.



^^^ Those are M3 doors. And the front fenders look like some kind of a hybrid between an M3 box fender and a regular E30 fender.



^^^ On this side, you see a regular E30 door and front fender. You also see some weird cut-and-paste stuff going on with the side skirts. I won't even mention the tail lights and tail pipes

Anyway, I'd be suspicious of buying a bodykit from a Polish website based on nothing but a couple of heavily doctored photos. Chances are, what you receive will be total crap.

Ohhh, that's right. I better get something from States or Canada for that matter. From eBay of course - quality stuff there.

No shit! You've just opened my eyes. Next you're gonna tell me TV commercials lie... My world has just collapsed.

[Kingb]

Shit I am still half tempted to have you get some for me and pic them up in Poland

[shiftbmw]

It probably costs less to buy a real M3 than to make a clone done right...sure, you could make a cheap hackjob for less, but it would look like shit most likely.

he is just trying to help. no one is insulting Poland. Those photographs/photoshops look terrible. if it was a canadian or american website with those photos, he would say the same thing.

it is a risky purchase when they can't even take pictures of the real thing.

i am not opposed to the idea of an M3 bodykit on a regular e30, but i think you should pass on this one, too.

[norcalE30]

i kinda like it... i wouldnt do it to my car, but they look ok

I think Emre made some pretty valid points, based on you're question, "What do you think?" Don't be a prick. To add to the thread, I'll say that I've never come across a fiberglass piece that didn't take more time than it's worth to properly fit. One of the things I love about our cars is the quality of design and adding half-assed aftermarket body kits just doesn't make sense to me.
