FFS!!!! Front Splitter

[318isPMK]

My front splitter is hanging loose and so is one of my body strips on the drivers side below the window.

Do these clip on or should they be bonded... I'm imagining it should be screwed somewhere.

Any help much appreciated.

Front lip just clips on (and off!) How many clips are broken on yours?

[polsta]

best thing to do, is buy a whole new lot from bmw and replace them all,only cost ya a fiver or so

[318isPMK]

New clips will be purchased post haste

[318isPMK]

^^^^^ funny comments above, quality stuff

for a 3k 318is (was it ?) for a new engine and god knows what else, its not done very well

cling to the saying "you dont buy a good e30, you build one"

[318isPMK]

I am realising the above is true

[kieran325]

You've got a sense of humour and ya still smiling, good on ya

[polsta]

have you spoke to previous owner at all ? he had anything to say for selling you a bag of bolts

[318isPMK]

he was certain it was minted when he sold it.

possibly just bad luck...

P.S Is their a certain type of clip at the sides the one on the other side is like an inch long flat hook/clip

[polsta]

the hooks are all the same, pull the spoiler off , look at the clips on the valance, you push (i think) them upwards and pull them out, its worth doing for brand new ones

another job worth doing i found... is all the plastic arch liners and bits under there, buying all new fittings for them, just a load of the nylon hex nuts and the other type under there, they are both found in random places around the car, like rear spoiler and stuff and are handy to have and go around the car replacing them all , only cost a few quid and make it nicer to work on, also a lot of themarch fittings on is`s are comming up now to really need doing it before they perish, nice afternoons spent doing stuff like that are very worthwhile and make the car that bit nicer

also new clips and screws for the front grilles are penuts to buy and nice to replace, etc etc

i'm the last owner.. check my history/profile & post's & you'll see the work i put in to this car, some of what Paul has went through is age related "wear & tear" the engine was very unfortunate.. there was nearly 3mths between me selling the car to a garage and Paul buying it (i might have a pic of the mileage from just before i sold it, would be intresting to see how many miles it covered in that time?) ive never hidden away from any questions or PM's Paul has needed to know from me and there are a few other's on here can back up as to how well i cared for this car & the outstanding quality of all the body work, floor & chassis (never had a weld) & the amazing condition of all the interior.

my gallery from when i owned it, feel free to check my car domain history to.. i don't scrimp nor scrape when it come's to my car's & the work they need

E30 iS: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3871075/1990-bmw-3-series

one of the biggest decisions i ever had to make with any car ive owned was parting with the E30 iS.. i still miss the car, so much so that i like to come on here and read through Paul's post's.

^^ True

[320iAN]

Paul.. do you know the mileage from the day you got your E30?

i sold the iS on the 18th Nov 2011, this pic is from 19 day's before i sold it.. my average miles per week are 12-15 so add 40-45 miles to this

good eh, i stole it from what someone said to me about land rovers

fair play ian, would be interesting to see how many miles they did

some days i miss my old is and wonder how its doing,that car was my baby and i loved it

New clips will be purchased post haste

Ive got some brand new BMW ones, ill have them at the meet.

[318isPMK]

Hello Ian I think your car misses you it keeps trying to run away from me piece by piece lol it's mostly fiddly bits that have went wrong and some of the stuff I've done is fettling to improve (IMO)

I'll hold off fixing it and you'd can keep mr right looking forward to it

[318isPMK]

p.s think it was only a couple of thousand miles 2-3ish

[318isPMK]

Thats the bugger thats missing what do you call them? is that the clips you have Sanchez?
