I think no matter how it's done it will look like a twix in a toilet but can someone find any images of any that look decent?

There was a zoner with a tech 1 sport and it looked ok. The stripes suit the earlier cars, but would look crap on a tech 2 car.

Sorry not very relevant but a funny quote from harry_p none the less

'Have m gearknob, have m steering wheel, have m bodykit - need m badge glued to the boot and grille to tell the whole world about them

how about an ABS badge off an early 90s vauxhall to tell the world your car has abs? Maybe a 'front foglights fitted' sticker for the bootlid? :D'

The big ones look like something you would see in Max power mag circa 1994 where as the ones i posted up were available from BMW and are in period for older metal bumper BMW's,

A bit like the E12 M535i.

They are M technic 1 bust without the wheel arch extensions.

South African 333i's had them but never seen an E30 with them over here.

I think the OEM ones only look ok. I would not have them on an E30 myself but they are not offensive.

that silver one looks great, m tech stripes also look good on a white car

i think i read on here before, that the silver one was/or them stripes, were only factory on a south african edition car , and could obviously be ordered via the dealer as an option

The Aero silver car is a South African 333i but they were not fitted as standard to them.

They dealer fit and were available here as well.

i think the front section is NLA, or at least one part is. a guy was asking me to reproduce them for him.....they are mega bucks from the dealers. i could do an exact replica if someone who wants a set will fork out for a front wing section and send it to me to get it 100% perfect.

I think they'd look better if they went to a point at the front of the front wing like the e12 further up the page does.

Not something id fit to my car, but I don't hate them.
cheers,

My sport is white and I wanted a bit of colour as it doesn't have m grille badge or boot badge, I like the standard look but the white just needs a touch of something.... But not a council touch....hmmmmmmm
