Would E36 M3 rubbing strips fit E30? Fancied removing them completely but is expensive to fill holes and paint. Thought if I put E36 style on and colour coded might be easier/better option. Have seen it done on the autovogue site and thought it looked well. Ant thoughts?

Not great photos but might give an idea. Be honest want to totally remove them but thought this was nice and cheaper option.

Well, I was wondering if you guys in the UK have seen it more than us in the states, this car has had something similar done, E36 or E39 moldings

Nice look...... but i would just smooth them out and euro it...

Sorry but i personally hate the E36 kits especially those sideskirts :eek: but the mouldings do look okay..
I wonder how long it will take people to notice this...

I may still smooth the car... when I do re-spray it, but since its an iX i'd be using the stock side-skirts anyways.... we'll see.

That looks really good but then you have to check how long is an e39 door as being a 4door the e30's probably longer
