Japandrew73's OEM Euro Restore

[Japandrew73]

Hmmm, so the M-technic valance requires that you keep the old valance under it?!

Yea unfortunately. The reason is because the regular valence holds the wings together. So there has to be a valence (euro or US) under the mtech spoiler. Eventually, i'll paint my old valence satin black so it's hidden behind it and un-noticeable.

Looks great Andrew. Good luck at Monterrey!

No no, sorry wings are your front fenders. Wings are a UK term. I just got into a habit of using UK terms like bonnet, boot, bulkhead (instead of firewall), etc.

Very Nice. Now if you can only keep the front from getting rock chips.

Front fenders? The front early valance is 2 piece actually, so if all you need is the top part that's attached to the fenders you can still remove the valance then.

hmm... I think i get what you're saying. I'll check another time because I hate that you can see it through the oil cooler holes.

I got in the mail a few minutes ago a little bonus additive that's kind of cool. it's the OEM BMW First Aid Kit. There are a lot of knock-offs, but the real one has a roundel on it. The green cross on the front is period correct for early e30's.

What's inside

The manual

Notice even the manual has a roundel on the back

Here's my trunk tub until I got the first aid kit

With the first aid kit.

I think that's all that goes in the trunk tub. I put the BBS centercap wrench in the left spot, and there is still the right spot that doesn't have an identifiable object that I can think that could go in it, but for now it's "complete".
