    Found an iPhone App that I could do what I asked for with. I took a picture of an awesome M3 I already had in my library because this one is shot from the very front so that was a good start point. The first one is the grilles only, the second one also has the center part of the kidney in red.

    What do you guys think?

    I'll do it with the spares (they're broken anyway). If I'm gonna throw them away, why not have fun with them a bit.

    To be honest, I prefer the LS wheels from Ronal but I don't know nothing about wheel prices. I had a 2004 Town Car before so no pimpin' really... The LS are 900 shipped from TunerUSA :-? I've got the cash it's just that I'm not sure how much I could get for the ones I have right now.

    On to The Duellists as I'm typing this.

    Edit: I like how you mention it's easy and then right at the beginning it states "Before you foolishly start on this project, I want you to all know how involving and skillful a conversion this is. It requires in depth fabrication, modification, material forming and some electrical work. This is not something most people can, or should attempt. If you are not sure that you possess the skills to properly pull the conversion off, then leave it to the professionals. No one likes halfass fitted body parts." I, too, don't like halfass fitted body parts. No way I'm giving money to a profesionnal for that. The bumpers I have right now won't affect the way the car handles, unlike a set of PSS9's, steering rack and shifter.

    Be34st, on a normal day I'll be sporting new Euro Grilles but I just don't want to trash the current grille I have so why not try and make it look different.

    Btw, Up the Irons l\m/l, currently listening to Run Silent Run Deep!
    Fuck yeah......the information is in the tech section, pretty much relates to 88s + too.


    How much for the Ronals?

    As far as the bumper goes, it is a very easy swap. Time consuming but worth it, I did it on my 88 pictured in the sig ;)

    Your car looks good without all of this funky-colored nonsense you speak of.

    I haven't read a lot about changing bumpers but from what I did read, it's not that easy and some modifications are needed on the bumpers for them to fit. Since I'm not good with that kind of things I'll just tuck them in I think, unless changing those short diving boards on 88+ is easy.

    Why are euro grilles better anyway? Still haven't got any PS'd version of my car's front end. Reminder: Red, yellow and white versions of the grille (not the kidneys, as someone else attempted to do). In fact, any color you think would look great for a spare set of grilles. Purple blue and orange would fit too. I know some people like the pink/black contrast as well as the fluo green one but that's not my type. If my spoiler was on I'd ask for that also because I'll have a spare that otherwise will end in the trash.

    Thanks!

    Wait guys, I'm talking about the grille, not the kidneys. Also, it's just be ause the current grille has a crack and since I'm replacing it anyway, instead of trashing the old ones I wanna paint them and try to make a nice contrast. Thanks for the MS paint kidneys btw.

    dude you have a clean e30 with some cool looking wheels, don't go ruining it. if you should do anything with your car i suggest euro bumpers or plastics....euro grills. nothing else really.
