Yes, good meeting you and seeing your car at the C/C. Wish I could have stayed longer, but had an appointment...maybe next time we can get all the e30s together in a row. I would like to get some pictures of the line up....
Mike, Thanks for the pictures, it does look good in your pictures. Maybe once this car is done we can get some more.
Austin: Yeh, sometimes I wonder if its the same car:). Thanks
Got so inspired by the C/C meet I went home and got the rear apron on:). Although it is not a hartge part, it sure make the car complete.....now for the front spoiler....

More picturesssssssssssss

Well got the rear valance on and the rear bumper back on. Still have to make some adjustments, because the passenger side is a little off; maybe 1/2 inch:)
Looks better in my opinion....oh would look better with the hartge exhaust tip:)


put some stickers on just for fun:)

Questions - is it easy to take off and put on the bumper? What about that rubber strip in the center of the metal piece.

Do you worry about people stealing your center caps

I'm jealous of your bumpers. I need Levent to hook me up with a set soon......

Also what are you specs for tire size / drop if any :P

man i can't wait to get parts hah

Very easy to get the bumpers off. The rubber strip can be a problem to get on, just have to do some adjusting and practice getting it on correctly.
If I am going to leave the car somewhere, which will not happen, then I would have to take the caps off. Losing one would be expensive!!:)
tires are 205/50/16, just what came on the car according to the paperwork I have about the car's history over in Germany. Drop is about 1 1/2 inches with hartge springs, but I am not sure about that. I do not have a regular e30 to measure against. Seems like it is lower than stock, but that might just be the wheel/tire size filling in the gap.
