That's just the plastic splashguard, every E30 built should ahve one of them, the piccy Andy posted is the one needed.

Don't see no reason it can't be made to fit a 318i?

Well completely ignore my posts then, i thought it must be metal or at least something heavy with a Ԛ£20 postage charge, presumably not.

I take it you didn't read the description where it says it will be hand delivered then?

Or was I seeing things... :P

I would expect it hand delivered in diamond encrusted wrapping paper for Ԛ£20. :lol:

I still can't understand it though as it says POSTAGE DUE TO WIEGTH but if it is plastic it can't wiegh that much surely.
