Post Mon Sep 12, 2005 12:48 am

nah mate, too early, those wernÃƒ”šÃ‚´t in for another year and a half or so

Post Mon Sep 12, 2005 12:54 am

The car really doesnt look right and cant see how this is a sport, It doesnt have sport seats and looks a little higher than Mtec suspension also it looks like brilliant red to me and i thought that was only available on later e30s. No front fogs either. Strange

no good, i was after the vin number e.g. :- eb 12345

Post Mon Sep 12, 2005 1:51 am

open the bonnet and check if the vin number is present in the channel in front of windscreen then see if it matches the vin plate behind drivers headlight area

if its ringed they would have filled over the vin infront of screen and just rivited new vin plate on

either way its a dodgy accident damaged car with new rear end and a tech2 kit fitted

orig 87 sport would have had the tech1 bodykit

Same rear bumper ? - You decide...

Ian.

Post Mon Sep 12, 2005 2:25 am

No, I mean the exact same physical bumper.

Both bumpers have had the exhaust cutout enlarged for some reason, and the chances of two cars having exactly the same enlarged cutout is very slim.

Just looked like the same bumper to me.

Post Mon Sep 12, 2005 2:33 am

yeah ian have to agree there also it looks like the red one is scratched and has white underneath also there is a gap to the left on both bumpers im not sure if thats normal but was just pointing it out

Post Mon Sep 12, 2005 2:36 am

sorry double post

Post Mon Sep 12, 2005 2:39 am

thats becouse i took the kit off the red one and put it on the grey one no one notice that the gray one is in frount of the red one with no kit on it and then it got a kit on it the same but in primer thats all i bought the sport for i wouldnt give it to my mate with the kit on it
