dealers dude. Not silly money either but they come down low under the car so if it's slammed it might hit more stuff than with out!

Soth African E30's have a metal one,a proper sump quard. Sure you could by one from the stealers.

Theres me getting carried away as i saw that one on ebay a few days ago, didn't realise you had a 318. Not sure if it would fit in that case.

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.

99p item Ԛ£20 postage, nice. I don't care how big that is, if that is abs plastic that does not cost Ԛ£20 to send.

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.
