    No problem Keith. I just went through the exact same thing with my own boots (but I made a revised design, PM for details) so I figured it would help!

                  So, just found out (the hard way) that there are THREE different front ends for an E30..

                  Post 87 (plastic bumpers)
                  late 85-87 (diving boards with larger lower valance)
                  pre 9/85 (tubby rubber thing on the bottom)

                  The pre 9/85 have no provision to mount an i motor oil cooler.. So I guess I will be looking for a later front valance.

                      is it the plastic bumper valance, or the diving board one (9/85 - 87) because I want to keep the diving boards..

                        I think you might be able to keep the diving boards with a late model valance.

                        Also. My oil cooler is bolted to my core support, not the valance.

                            On the pre 9/85, the valance tucks up to the radiator support so there is no room to mount the oil cooler. It's hard to example, but it just won't fit in there.

                            @bmw42, I might have a lead on the valance and the lower panel, what color are the two you have?

                                Mine is a late model Zinno valance. Needs one of the mounting points straightened, otherwise, a solid valance.

                                Fwiw, you can run diving boards and a late model valance (like '88 cars.)
