Not seen that before... think you would have to have a pretty special looking e30 to pull that look off properly.

Thing is the bonnet and front panel are shaped for the kidney grill so body mods would be needed to make it look right.

it sort of looks like a single eyebrow right along?

i agree Tony, there would be a lip that hung over and that wouldn't look right, you would need to have it all flush to look close to right.

Oh chrome kidneys are back on, just for you Tony

To be honest mate I reckon its a custom job as the kidney grill is BMW`s `trademark`(for want of a better word

Shouldnt imagine it would be hard to do,just chop a spare grill up and mate them all together.

A mate and I were thinking about this before when we were looking at a front ended E30 that the two grilles were sorted of joined up form the front being pulled in, lol.

I reckon, the bonnet would want to be changed too since the rise in the center looks very odd when it's not leading from the kidney...
