I've always thought the old chrome bumper E30's look best in OE spec so because you've put a few mods on there i'd go down the tech 1 or 2 route

My tuppence would be: rechrome the bumpers. Tech 2 kits are ten a penny, whereas original chrome bumpered E30s in good condition aren't. Plus drilling into 22 year old metal isn't the best way forward for a car's bodywork.
