Some of you will probably wonder what I'm thinking, but I want to change my front chunky sporty/foglight bumper to a more simple one.

I don't know any of the terms for these bumpers, not sure if I've got an Mtec one or not, but basically it was retro fitted by previous owner but I prefer the simplistic look and not a car bogged down with body kits etc.

This is the one I have

Anyone know what my options are? Tried to look at realoem but got a bit confused as there's thousands of front spoilers, bumpers etc etc

You have the standard bumper and valance with an i.s lip spoiler .

All you need to do to make it more simplistic is pull of the i.s lip spoiler and push on a standard lip spoiler.

You can also remove the fog lights and fit blanking plates if you wish to do away with the fogs as well.

Thanks guys! In hindsight I probably should of got a pre-facelift E30. I like the simplicity of its bodywork.

Is there any where I can get the Facelift lip other than dealers? Had a little butchers on ebay could see anything.
