    naked?

    well I removed my euro plate, just because I was bored. I had some plasti-dip, lots of plastic sheets, and some time. The reason I had the euro plate was because the OEM bumper strip pops out with no plate their, and the US plate was ugly.So I made a strip of plastic to cover the holes and hold the trim together. I kinda like it but I'm not used to it yet, I'll probably get some of those licence plate screw covers to clean it up a little more. What do you think?



    I'll probably keep it this way.

    I'll get better pics later

    I think if you made your trim peice fill the whole "gap" instead of filling the seam between the two sides.

      I tried that but then the ends can flop around.

        I think E30 owners should stop giving two shits about the indent in their bumper trim. That's what I think. That plastic plate looks retarded, buy two little hole covers and pop them in. Good to go.

          umm, something has to go their for me because the trim will pop out if nothing is their and the pop in hole cover things dont hold well enough to keep the trim on, I've tried a bunch of different ways, and the two I like the most are this and the euro plate.

            Haha so what you're saying is, the tabs on the trim are shot and you have to put screws in there no matter what to keep the trim on?

            OK So, Here's the earth... What I did is I have the small round black plastic caps I dickishly described earlier and they are slightly larger than the holes in the trim. THEN you take small black screws and screw though the caps into the bumper holes. Vualah!

                              fuck. the front end of your car is so CLEAN. you NEED to get a nice set of wheels and your car will look amazing. I dont think that little plastic strip you made is that bad. I think you euro plate would look better if it was the same colors as a real euro plate.

                              Edit: where did you get your fogs? Band new online or from a member/person?
