I've got a pair on my E30, genuine ones from the BMW dealer in Koblenz though.

They look great front and back, even better with a set of german plates.

See here http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... highlight=

I've got one on the rear of my ///M as the front bumper looks pretty naff with a surround on it.

Dubmeister.co.uk is the best place for the plates and you can include all manner of surrounds in the cost.

Ian has them on his iS on both front and back
He got them off some trader or other at the Pod. No doubt the same as is on ebay though.
