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?

post up some pics buddy of the one on the site you
are talking about and people will tell you their opinions
chances are if youve seen it done then they fit but not
directly will have to mod them no doubt

fair point pics would have been a good idea from the start.


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

Nice look...... but i would just smooth them out and euro it...
Sorry but i personally hate the E36 kits especially those sideskirts
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.Zizzle wrote:Nice look...... but i would just smooth them out and euro it...

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
