Howdooos,

the M is missing its fogs, which makes it look even more ratty.

Do standard fogs fit?
Are there any brake duct type doodars that I can fit instead? as I rarely use fogs...

Word.

C3 do both hella or zkw fogs but they also do brake ducts. I thought about ducts but just fitted 2 new fogs instead. You might not use them but they look so much better.

They're not that steep. Just lenses (hella) are about £25 or zkw are about £20. I think it's about the same for ducts.

m3 fogs are the same as all chromie (pre-facelift) e30s, but use an m3 specific bracket.

i've got some fibreglass copy ducts off m3bob who is in the traders section on here. lots cheaper than the real thing but still look a million times better than the blank hole. just needed minor sanding to fit snugly and siliconing into the bumper from behind. should be easy to remove should i ever want to go back to standard (which i won't)

the only direct comparison i have is a front on photo which doesnt really show the difference. it's the depth when seen from an angle than finishes off the bumper rather than looking like there's just something missing.

i've got a feeling they were £25 the pair but can't remember as i bought the sportevo undertray and splitter at the same time.

i can't find any of his posts in the forsale or traders section but the name still comes up if you do a search :?
