sidrick Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Looking good The driver's front wing looks like it's been replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykez69 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Looking good Thank you. My mate said he would spray, take dents out etc for 700. Not a bad price. Think I will get new wings altogether though as they are pretty bad dent wise. Don't know what colour to get it sprayed though. Looking good The driver's front wing looks like it's been replaced. Yes it has, it doesn't line up with the bonnet at all and it has had another knock since it has been replaced so think I might just replace both. Might be easier to get new bumpers too. I don't totally understand these bumpers as the middle part is plastic, but the bottom part is metal. So does the plastic part come away from the metal part then you unbolt the metal part as well? I'm picking up a treat for it in a while, a shadowline kidney grill and better headlight surrounds as mine are scruffy, also headlight brows all for £30 which I think is an ok price.

sidrick Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) Sounds like a bargain! The bumper is in two parts. I'd replace your aftermarket wing with an OE resprayed replacement. I'd go for used replacements, but if you want new ones, let me know. I should get 30% off of retail price, minimum.

mykez69 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Will the new ones you get be aftermarket too then? What is the fitting usually like? any gaps? There are a lot of people breaking E30's so I think be quite easy to get replacements Oh, I got offered a set of SE sideskirts for £30 pounds. Not got a clue what these look like but will have a look when I pick my grill etc up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I'd buy one off a breaker and respray it. Sideskirts on an E30 are horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykez69 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Picked up the Grills and Brows etc http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg142/mykez69/Bmw%20E30%20318is/7725c904.jpg Will clean them up, give them a quick spray of Satin Black then on they go Will the new ones you get be aftermarket too then?

If there 50 quid each I wouldnt mind but then theres postage and all the rest of it lol Do they bolt on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
