Sweet car man. :)
Be a gentleman and buy the lady a proper m-tech2 front. She deserves it. ;)

Please keep the chrome kidneys. I think that black kidneys are for people that is ashamed of driving a BMW.

Mtech2 is on the way... Ill have both black and chrome kidneys to play around with, im on the fence till i see it but im thinking black atm

Thank god that hood is painted. Benefit of reduced weight, but doesn't look like a piece of trash. Well done.

[Drew325is]

definitely dig the painted hood...I'd like to go CF hood, trunk and sunroof panel (if a decent fully functional one existed) and have them all painted...but it's a huge investment when you need international shipping on CF hoods etc.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

[Daffy]

question...

what is the exact definition of the front bumber...i heard that it has another name than Mtech II...some guys say that the bumper is tukye and not original....

[M42Technik]

Its an OEM BMW piece from what I recall...perhaps you could paint the lower valence grill for some needed contrast? Just a thought. Here's the original accessory catalog pic:



EDIT: H to the O - V

^^^ you learn something new every day. Never seen that valance before. Never would,ve guessed it was OEM.

Great pic's Bennett !! Your car is very nice & really coming along. How about some hood liner pads?

[cactusjacks1]

Perhaps a trunk lid liner to go with your new tool kit?

[E30SPDFRK]

So what are you doing with that valence?

[gtdragon980]

wtf i've never even seen that valence! wow thats pretty cool! rare?

[cactusjacks1]

As soon as these bad boys go on ill be winding her down on the H&R coils and putting a skid plate underneath her. Get my summer stance the way I want.

This is an interesting thread & may be a very affordable way to get another 1/2" drop in the front. Some good before & after shots also.

Holy shit that front valance/bumper combo has to be the rarest BMW e30 treatment ever, just plain sick. Thought at first it was a kamei or foha old school euro thing. Much sicker than and much harder to find then the MtechII front. Actually I've never seen a kit of those for sale. PM me if you are selling that combo.

[EGoman]

love the carbonfiber hood.. don't see often in finland and in e30... where did you buy it?

[robrez]

I remember seeing that car for sale on m42club.com. Very nice and looks to be in good hands.
