[Shaheenem]

I have the car for about a year now... When i got it, it was dog ugly... Falling apart...

Been trying to get it to perfect condition... Its getting there slowly... Gona take my time though... I want it done right!

I had a dash recovered in leather... They did a brilliant job on it... I will post a pic soon...

[Shaheenem]

The bumpers are kinda weird, I've seen them on other cars.

Your car pulls them off well.

black bumpers were stock on most of the cheaper late model e30s in other countries.

Ahh.

You learn something new everyday.

Yeah, so those bumpers are pretty much just the euro version of the late model bumpers? (Excluding SE and M-Tech cars of course.)

I believe they came on some of the 318 and 320 models.... I do know that they were on the cheapest e30s... I'm sure someone can back me up with more specific information here.

[Shaheenem]

There were some that came colour coded... But i somehow prefer them black on my car...

What do you guys think? Should i colour match them?

[TDE30]

I think it has a rather unique look to it being black. It gives it some contrast.

Almost reminds me of the big bumper'd A2 cars.

I think it looks great! It's your car man.... do whatever you think looks good.

I personally like the black bumpers, if I had my way with my sister's 88 325 it would have black plastic bumpers in a heartbeat.

[Shaheenem]

Thanks guys!

Btw, its an auto... I hate the auto... Im planning to do the 5 speed swap at the end of the month... I hope its worth it...
