    Plastic Bumper swap on Metal Bumpered E30 Bronzit Vert quick Nip & Tuck topless style

    customer is in love with his Bronzit ;)
    this e30 just got brand new interior done and has new top

    suspension and wheels will be next after we are done with the body

    ripped old metal bumpers out





    front bumper valence is on for test fit



    euro bumper trim





    bodywork done to the valence



    we are replacing the vert trunk with an iS trunk (no 3rd light)



    more pics later

    Deleting the third trunk light activates the brake light check panel. What do you do to bypass the brake light coming on?

            Like I know what that is? I have the hardest time reading wiring manuals. As a matter of fact, I can't read wiring manuals damn near at all.

              I don't get why you all hate bronzit so much over there, I guess cause it's so common. It's a very rare colour here in the UK and I personally love it, my second favourite after lachs

                  front valence is not welded.

                    I'll show you how we do it when we will mount everything back

                              I think it is an ongoing project. It isn't done yet, so he can't post finished pictures.

                              Car looks good Vlad, I really like a clean Bronzit.
