My first e30

[Tyler_e30]

took my car to the body shop. found out the guy i originally got a quote from uses a lot of bondo. so i took it to a guy that my friend recommended. $2400. hell fix the damage and pull out any ding he finds. then paint the whole thing the same color. gave him a $1000 down payment and should have it soon! for now im driving my dads e38. love driving this

progess on the car is looking real good. he said he just pulled it and didnt use any body filler. now i just have to wait for the tailights to come in so he can fix the back.











oh and i have to buy a rear bumper. which are $350 brand new. and the cheapest used i saw was $250

sucks to hear about the car, but wow, he got that straightened out pretty good.

Love the decal. I hate most insurance companies out of principal.

Coming along. Why not just buy some euro bumps instead of spending tree fiddy a rear bump. You like half way there anyways

Euro Bumpers would be awesome! And if you can't afford those then get some plastic facelift bumpers. Cheaper then euro bumpers and loads better than divingboards!

Also on the prices you quoted. Have you never been to a junkyard or pick a part? And the diving boards are big, heavy, and don't complement e30s really well. I've seen them tucked, painted, and with the front turn signals removed but have never seen an e30 with them that wouldn't look better with Euro or plastic bumpers. BTW it's your car and how you want to style it is up to you. This is my opinion don't take it as fact, hate, or me telling you what to do. That's the beauty of it all! It's your car and you can do what you want to it. You'll have people like it and dislike it but in the end if you're happy what do our options matter =P Also I love the color and I really want a convertible!

I to like my DBs. The trend now is to go plastic or euro, soon DBs will be scarce to see and a trend for them will come around.
