    good bye old look :(

    A lot of changes will be done to my car in the next month.. here are the last pics that I'll be posting for thus my car will look totally different in the near future (1 Month).

    The following parts have been purchased and are on the way.

    IS Side skirts OEM - BMA
    Mtech 2 Front valance *REPLICA* - AbrahamsMotorsport
    Mtech 2 Rear valance *REPLICA* - Eurostyles
    Mtech 2 Rear wing OEM
    Euro Trim + Rear center - Abrahams+BMA
    Black Hella DE Headlights for BMW - Europe






    I'm going to really really miss the old look, but I really love the Mtech II valances with the plastic bumpers! I'm a bit worried about how it will look with the side skirts and valances mixed, but I've seen some pictures of e30s with this setup and it doesn't look bad at all.

    Get the bumper skins to go with the valances! From what I can see you have a perfectly straight-bodied car, and that front Mtech valance will not line up flush without the Mtech front bumper skin. If I was dropping that kind of money on bodywork, I wouldn't half-ass it.

        That looks pretty straight to me, and I'm getting the same exact stuff he put on his e30. I'm not installing this my self either, i am having a body shop do it. So It will be done right, and IMO, mtech valances look better with plastics.

            He's right. That pic you posted looks good from the front, but it doesn't line up with the bumper on the sides. The M-Tech II bumper is just a few mm wider on each side, because the M-Tech II front valence is a bit wider.

            Take a look at this pic here. It's not the way it's mounted, the M-Tech II front airdam is actually a bit wider than stock plastic bumpers, so it sticks out:



            That aside, I think your car will still look badass.

                When done right - clearly the red e30 was not "done" right, or it was curbed. The valance cover looks right on the darker e30 above....it looks mad sweet.

                I have been wondering about the abrahams gear for a long time, and if this goes well, please let me know. I will do the same to my car.

                  I see now what you are talking about, but i'm hoping the body shop will install it correctly, i am certain they will. If it looks this good in this pic.. i'm sure i can get it to look good as well. :-D thanks for the comments guys!! this is still happening!!

                              I think it will look good. That Sepang E30 looks killer too!
