Wouldn't it be cool to get those U.S. spec bumpers on a UK car?? I've never seen it before, anyone know of anyone who has?

Hahahai knew is get this response! Well I really like the fun fair dodgems look... I've watched a few e30 videos on YouTube with US motors and some don't look toooo bad with the right valance parts underneath. Oh well!

Speak to the guys on R3VLimited (US E30 forum), plenty of US spec bumpers going spare as they're all converting to Euro spec as they look better.

Anyone seen the awful US boot lids with the bump for the extra brake light? Talk about ruining the lines of the car!

Its their safety laws, thats why the MG B had the same fate.

The USA was protecting mouth breathing mongs from themselves long before we had thought of it, thank God we've caught up now :roll:
