front wings - BMW or other suppliers.

I need to fit new wings and sills to my Touring, BMW ones are expensive but what are europarts, German and Swedish or KMS like? I need a proper fit when its finished.

[e30bemer]

all depends on how good the copys are from euros etc!

And u know that from the stealers you will get a better fit!

My experience with pattern part wings is they never seem to fit properly!

My advice would be to swallow it and get BMW ones or get hold of some second hand ones!

buy bmw , you will be thankful in the end.....

i bought an after market front lower panel for my e30 and it was shit. worst fitting panel i have ever bought and it scratched my paintwork to bits.

I was advised to avoid aftermarket panels and only buy genuine BMW parts. They fit as they should without any problems.

I bought Genuine ones for mine a 5-6 months ago and they were Ԛ£315 for the pair! but they look mint and fit perfect.

When you buy them from the dealers make sure they are genuine bmw part (have the under seal int hte folds/joins and have the Marque stamped on them and not and APPROVED PART as these are just GSF ones that bmw has approved they dont have the right number of hole in the top and they dont fit the grill at the front properly. so you might end up paying Ԛ£150+ for some you could buy for Ԛ£12 at GSF

Think it was Kedge who told me about this, From experience!!

Defo hunt the scrappies mate, all copys are sh1te!! I bought one for mine when i had the bump and it sits to high above the bonnet and is'nt 100% where it meets the valence either. If you cant afford new from BM hunt the scrappies or post up on thw wanted section for two in your colour, you never know yer luck. What year and colour are you after??
