Saw this on you tube and i've never seen an E30 with it before. Its got like a reflector panel on the rear which makes thie rear end look a bit different, i quite like it what do you think?

The reflector section that acted as a filler between the rear lights was the height of fashion during the mid '80's!

The number plate was usually relocated to the rear valance. They were called tailblazers I think. I had one on my XR3i in 1986. :o:

Similar to the panel my dad had on his E21 back in '86, still don't like them :(

Slightly off topic, not very powerful for an e30 turbo don't you think ?

A well known zoner has aquired this particular item and will soon have it fitted to their E30.

Its know as a Heck Dekkor.

You find them very very occasionally on ebay.de under heckeblende.

I've seen them go for well over 200EUR and then I've picked up a few for under 30EUR.

I have one on my iS and another in reserve for when I find a Cabrio that hasn't been molested - so never basically.

I had something similar on my E21 323i to replace that hateful black ribbed panel between the rear lights. I think it said 'ALPINA'. :o:

I've seen the one of Oz's car and it looks good. Very eighties and it gives it a sort of Audi 200 look. The best place to look for these (if you can) is in Germany in the provincial small ads papers. I picked up all kinds of stuff like that including a mint Hartge three spoke steering wheel for £30. :D

He's probably still at Billing, wandering around and talking to the Geese.
