    I'm in the same boat. It just feels out of place and the constant chipping of my quick paint job on them is bugging me like crazy. The only thing still keeping them on the car is the the fact that I have to deal with city parking everyday.

      Link? Sounds tempting. Is it a euro valence only thing?

        That's funny coming from one of the sickist euro bumper set ups ever.

          I dig the euro bumpers w/ the mtech spoiler. I currently have semi gloss black euro bumpers on my delphin 87 w/ the late model valance. Looks good from a distance but there is an inch gap or so btnw the bumper and valance, I think a little welding and finess could fix the issue....

            I voted plastic bumpers, but then again I am a bit biased since that's the direction I took.

              Eric, the rear of your car looks amazing, I think I'm going with the M-Tech II rear valance next, I've already been considering doing the front.

                Now that I have mine finished, the thought has crossed my mind about doing the M Tech II on the front a few times and I think it might 'blend' a bit better with the rear valence I have. Go ahead and do yours-I think it would look great.

                  I'm planning to, it's just a matter of having the money. I'm not doing M-Tech II sides tho, I don't really like them. I want to do an M-Tech I wing, also.

                            on earlier E30s you definately need to go with euro bumpers. Or go all the way and do euro bumpers with Mtech1.

                                Tech 1 is ugly. (everyone can shoot me now)

                                Painted euro's with euro valence is sick. As are plastics. Can't go wrong with those two.
