+1 for stock mirrors...

[Stevie30]

Stick with the stock mirrors. They complement the classic body lines.

So is that a stock plastic bumper with acs valence molded to it?

correct

[BrewCity11]

Either go stock or DTM mirrors on both sides.. OR delete the passenger mirror and roll with just a DTM.. IMO

I'm with stupid ^

Stock mirror for sure! The DTM looks a bit to odd on that vert. :up:

[Tavern Gnome]

Stock mirrors!!!

[ZM Blue Devil]

Im 50/50 on the mirrors, I want to reserve my vote until the side skirts and the rear valance is on.

[kronus]

Stock. I never liked the look of the DTM mirrors.

[Motorsports]

Stock mirrors all the way. I dont really like DTM mirrors. I have that same front lip on my vert, and this morning on my way to work i chipped the lower lip getting the car out the parking lot. I was so pissed.

[JoeyJoeJ0]

stock for sure

OK MAJOR UPDATE - it's getting closer to the completion !


Just need to install the Reiger side skirts and the rear bumper with ACS valence (it will get painted tomorrow)



bought mint condition tail lights but the gaskets were shot



here we go - new gaskets !



then Levent ZM-Blue-Devil came in and installed the cluster with painted needles, Metal rings and an Alpina decal







Levent also helped me BIG TIME by bringing his magic box full of cleaning solutions, just take a look at the carpet and the seats

before



after



the seats



also, I finally balanced the rims/tires and put them on the car







ok, here is my question - which mirrors to keep ?

DTMs (seen on the driver's side)



Stock OEM (seen on the on the passenger's side)





few more pics

[my73bimmer]

wait until its all done then you will see that my vert is very different !

I believe yours will look awesome :p. It was pure coincidence that I put the yellow/smoke lights on mine and my car is red too. I really enjoy reading your restorations and the great job you do with all these e30's to bring the back to life. Big Respect !! :up:.. Can't wait to see the final result.
