Well, you know what 3am is like! 
Shit cold here, been raining all day.
If you get on well here on the zone, you might get lucky and get some bumpers from here cheap........like $100 all in to your door!

Car looks good, though have you lowered the back and not the front!? Or do you just carry loads of shit in the boot?
I reckon it'd look quite good slammed on those wheels, though you could paint the centres black and polish the lip
Weather here is great - lots of nice cold air which the engine loves - car goes nice and quickly

no ZAYAN i think that first pic the wheelks are slightly turned so it gives the effect that the front isnt lowered but YES INDEED it is level front to back could also be my yard as it is indeed crooked!!!

Welcome mate, car looks nice, cool color. I like seeing e30's from other parts of the world
mon_e30 is right, you can "tuck" the big bumpers and color them.

yea MON i think it looks good i think you can do alot with a rattler (can)
and i just read the r3v article on " tucking" and i think its within my technical abilities, but i have just one question?? Does the bumper tuck affect the
ability of the bumper to withstand an impact compared to "pre" tuck tolerances??? just curious i believe ive seen this topic before i definitely want
to upgrade the bumpers but a tuck might be in order before that may happen

One advantage of being on an English forum!
You get an English point of view, not just an American view!
