        Question on the front bumper

        Anybody have the part numbers for the bumper trim that enables you to run sidemarkers? I've never been able to find it on the OEM site. Was there a specific year or European market version that was equipped with sidemarkers?

        Meanwhile, congrats on your find. A lot of work if you want to restore it but best of luck regardless of your plans.

          IIRC they hack a hole in the bumper and throw toyota sidemarkers in, or something.

                Actually they don't use salt here in the southwest.

                  About sidemarkers, euro cars have them on the front fenders behind the front wheel. They look like the e34/e36 ones. They never had any on the sides of the euro bumper.

                    Mag chloride is salt, just less bad for metal salt.

                      ^exactly. That front end would be destroyed if it were up north in the real stuff.

                        It actually spent the first 4 years of it's life up there, then a couple years in jersey.

                              I think the best part is how I found it. I knew my friend had an e30, just not which one. Hadn't seen him in a few months, jokingly ask if his car is for sale, find out the details from him and 4 days later it's mine. He bought it when he was within 4 months of the my age now.
