WELL its around 64 degrees here right now and 80's during the day
yes theres a few EURO bumpers here but i believe the 89 and 90 e30 bumpers work as well , they call them the wrap around style i just gotta save for another year or so no cheap thats for sure! oh by the way hows the weather where you're at ????

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!!!

i say keep the bumpers, ignore everyone that tells u otherwise......

big metal bumpers can look cool with a nice front and rear aprons....




thats just my point of view...

[quote="mon_e30"]i say keep the bumpers, ignore everyone that tells u otherwise......

hey mon are those metal bumpers red ???? i've never seen that approach
i kinda like the plastic ones but i had to work with what i had painted them black and it just worked out .

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.
check this link out:

surfboard bumpers have to be replaced by a tech1 or 2 kit or as you guys refer to them as, euro bumpers. Looks alright otherwise.

yeah dude they are metal bumpers painted body color and tucked....

i honestly dont have the money to convert to plastic, sow decided to try

something diferent, i think it looks cool.

And the wether in the caribean is fucking hot

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

ZAYAN, i honestly have neveer seen bottlecaps painted before can you
produce some pics of this so that i may see..... please

it does affect it..... but the hell with it it looks the tits....

Was going to say just that, We dont care how good our bumpers work, just as long as they look sweet!

Can anyone produce some pics of these painted bottle cap rims that ZAYAN was speaking of ???? I am kinda interested in what this may look like , have not seen or heard of this being done before .

He means like this!

WOW STEVE, bloody hell that looks kinda cool what do you think if i painted'em like that ???? I think it would be totally unique in a Euro kinda
way not positive but theres not one like her in the states here .
OK peoples whats the opinion of the masses ?????(thanks for your time and hard work on photoshop steve )

One advantage of being on an English forum!

You get an English point of view, not just an American view!

THANKS STEVE you guys are the coolest!!!!!!

mancs316 has a set with the inserts painted gold

AND how do you think that looks???? I'M really swayin towards doin mine black.

Black or the same color as your car!

HEY i guess to each his own there are many different variations here and abroad of the e30 so if your opinion is unfavorable to painted bottlecaps so be it
