    looks like it.

    I've been thinking of driving over to garagistic and looking at them before I buy.

    They look GOOD in the pics

      Schmiedmann has those MHWs and original style tails as well. I think someone started producing those MHW reps a while back along with startec(early) reps and all the other variants that garagistic et al. carry. You can find some of them on ebay now too.

      I had never come across an interpretation of startecs for a late model and I guess I always wanted to see that. I never really cared for the MHWs for some reason.

        Yeah, could you do that? There are some reviews online, but it'd be good to know from someone who isn't running a youtube channel

                  I spent another 3 hours trying to extract the broken head bolt from my D2 today.
                  I think it's a lost cause, it's just corroded solid all the way down and I broke chunks off to the point where I can't really reach it with the MIG anymore.
                  Going to wait for spring, buy/swap a new engine, and try to make a drill jig to drill this out as a spare block.

                      Anyone see these late model "Startec" lookalikes yet? I want them.
                      They are surely made by MVP.
                      MVP provides outstanding quality parts for BMW classic vehicle owners to restore their cars and create maximum time and cost efficiency. We are here to assist you with the general or modified BMW 2002 and E30 parts fitment & quality check.


                      I inquired about their plastic cluster covers. I was told that they have small cracks near the reset button.
                      I will wait for the next batch.

                        Can you buy direct from them?

                        MVP sells an MT2 body with without wing for $599, Garagistic sells it for $1417. Then again, MVP has smoked MHW lights for $350 vs $306 on Garagistic.

                          I think that's just the side pieces, then bumpers are like another $500 each?

                            You're right, maybe I should have looked at the pictures. It's $1649 all in if you buy it from them. Suddenly the other option doesnt sound too bad

                              It's the recommended price.

                              Dealers get everything cheaper.
                              Blunttech, for example, said they can deliver everything from MVP.

                              It's good to have more products that have been discontinued by BMW.
