After seeing the Volvo spoiler thread I decided to get one as there is a volvo breakers near where I live.
Walking around the yard I noticed the model I was looking for but not the spoiler.
I was about to leave thinking that it must be a rare item.
That is when I realised that when they are on the volvo they mount the other way up and look nothing like the pics on here!!
Suddenly there were about 50 of them!!
Five minutes and£10 later it was in my boot :D .
I have to say,im amazed at how well it fits!! the corners follow the E30 lines like the original and it even clipped into the BMW brackets.
It was the perfect length,I know that its allready been said,but I was expecting a bit of pissing about....
Just had to lop the ends off.(2mins with a saw & sandpaper)
I am hoping to get an Alpina skirt soon,but this will certainly do for now.
(work in progress)

Hmmmm. Where did you get the brackets to mount it, are they on the Volvo spoiler or attached to the car.

If men were supposed to fanny around with eyebrows, we'd all have makeup bags

If you scroll down the Styling ICE forum, you'll come across the poll about whether or not 'eyebrows' are council. 42% said Yes FFS, 47% said No - it was a subtle styling mod and 10% didn't give a monkey's either way. So there you go - one man's meat and all that.

Do what you will, but for goodness sake do it properly. If you worry too much about what everyone here thinks, you won't do anything. As Lee says, it's your car.


:twisted: im right.

Eyebrows are council.

It's those "car false eyelashes" you need to think about fitting, since they are proper nice innit?
