It was my understanding that nothing off the shelf would fit correctly , early car with plastic rear bumper ?

You would probably need a rear apron made for an early car if you went aftermarket. Then figure out a way to mount it.

[Jand3rson]

Not necessarily. Eurostyle sells an aftermarket replica of the M-Tech II rear apron made specifically for diving board cars. I'm sure that with some clever bracketry, you could get it to mount just fine. There's tons of material back there to work with.

Got some more parts today, plan is to replace trailing arms , brakes and install lsd this weekend.







Recently rebuilt 3.73 lsd with redline fluid






Temp paint, will get painted by a pro once I get the rear bumper trimmed and fitted. I'll need to order an i or iS lip with euro trim to finish the outside.















Not sure if i'll keep the trunk as is or add a small oem lip.

[Jand3rson]

Dead sexy. Plastic bumpers with early tails is the fucking hotness.

[Tree18is]

what ever you do dont get rid of that plate! and at the rate your going, just DIY euro trim..

I liked it better with the big bumpers, gave it more personality.

Wow that looks great. I wish BMW would've kept the small taillights on their face lifted cars, they make the rear look so much cleaner.

[CleanAzzE30z]

Man my eta had that plate. I,like an idiot, got an ELP. I still have the old one. Im thinking if its possible to just get an ELP of the original number of the plate?? So I can use the old one.
