    Just finished mine this past weekend. Turned out better than I expected. There were some Issues with the removal as written by Josh Anderson, but easy to figure out. Plus I opted to do the rear without A Safeway building

    Next I'm gong to paint or Powdercoat the bumpers then get some new rubber!

    Thanks for the info!

                  bumper trim

                  I drilled my bumpers on my 87 325is and it looks great, but i still have the plastic bumper trim pieces sticking out a little. There is a half inch gap between them and the bumper. I havent had time to fully look into it yet. Is there some special way to fix it with setting screws or something? And for that post about painting trim, it alos looks awesome to repaint your entire grill with bumper coating, including the kidneys. I did it on mine and its awesome.

                  If anybody is looking for customs interior mods, I have some. My sunroof switch is in my center console, and I have a stock looking auxiliary input jack going through me speaker fader box. Pics are here http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=76515 email me at stknrvrs@msn.com for questions.

                      might have meant bmp design, I couldn't find fillers at bavauto either. That doesn't mean they aren't there though as it takes some looking sometimes.

                      heres the bmpdesign.com one:

                      I think the one above is for plastic bumpers, not sure if they still sell one for diving boards, seems like there was a discussion about that somewhere.

                          They don't have those anymore for diving board bumpers.

                            I was thinking today after looking at it, you could easily make one. All you would need is one of the front bumper trim pieces from a diving board car, doesn't matter which side. Just measure the width of that license plate area, and cut a piece out of the spare trim, from the flat section in the front next to the turn signals. You'd just need to fab up some mounts, do some light sanding on the edges to clean it up, and it would look great.

                              Yep, or if you don't want to fabricate mounts then cut the bottom part of
                              the lic. plate holder until you find something better ...

                                Making a way to mount it wouldn't be hard, you could just plastic weld a couple of small blocks of plastic to the backside, remove the bumper, and screw it in from the back with some washers.
