anybody gots 10mm spacers for sale or that i can use for test fit?

[CHIF8008]

I vote for the early es/is valance. It may just be due to the fact that it's further forward so it scrapes easier.

that would make sense ^^ (the scraping part)

i have people saying the early valance and others the late one. can i have someone with a late model e30 (with IS lip) measure from the bottom of your bumper to the bottom of the lip? on either side(i want the lowest point)- not the middle. i have an early ES valance and will post its length also. just wanna see which one actually hangs lower.

[tonywonder]

i think it would be best to measure from the hood to lip, since the design of the bumpers is actually different. have to measure it from one point that is the same on both cars.

hmm i did not think the bumpers were that different. that makes sense

what about from the piece of metal under the headlights? maybe from the bottom of that

edit* is the metal valance different from late to early? maybe i can just get the measurement of the lip and add it to mine and see how it sits against the ES valance

I measured 49.5cm (about 19.5 inches) hood to lowest part on lip.

Yes please.

i think waiting too long made the color coats flaky for me. i waited over an hour in good ventilation for the colors, and then overnight before the clear. i should have put clear while it was still 'soft.'

i used duplicolor.

all these tips from duplicolor say to wait about 30 min or until dry in between coats. strange. are you almost done with yours yet?

[tonywonder]

Anyone want to buy a 1991 318is slicktop on the cheap?

Car needs front struts, probably a rack since there is play, car pulls to the left, needs a cluster bulb for right side of cluster, oil filter housing leak. Car has the wrong spacers for the ghetto wheels. no radio.

I just need the $$ at this point
