I am in the process of rebuilding my e30. Due to various reasons The car has been standing for approx 4 years.. The biggeste problem I have is the off-side rear wheel arch having rotted by the feul cap and expansion tank. Can I buy the panel (If so,Were and approx cost) or will One have to be fabricated.. Also the can I have some advice on the best way of going about this job.


Below is a pic of how the car will look when finised minus the boot spoiler but will be keeping the colour coded rubber lip spoiler . Colour will be lacsh silver with Alpina rims. All mechanics /running gear are from a 325i sport.

Thanks in advance Tony. :cool:

i cant help with your problem but i was looking at the pic of how your car will look. yours will have no spoiler,different wheels and a different colour so that picture doesnt really mean anything and is just a random e30 pic i assume? :D

No random pic as I have ordered the exact same kit, I asked for advice and not be patronised. Try using some imagination lol.

You can buy the panel from BMW, not very expensive. Look in the photo gallery for beardymats sport resto, he did a top job of replacing his and took some photo's along the way
