My e30 has Mtech I bumpers and there a bit past it.

The plastic trim on the corners are cracked and broken on the front bumper and i wondered if i can get replacement "moulds". Haven't managed to find anything on ebay etc.

I recall an episode of wheeler dealers when they had an e30 touring and the plastic moulds were changed on the front and rear bumpers! Real quick and easy job, totally transformed bumpers!

That E30 had the later plastic bumpers, you need the metal ones for the Tech 1.

What do you need, as I have a few plastics here.

There available from the dealers and from memory not expensive. I think cotswalds quoted me approx £80 for all 3 parts which consisted of both sides and the centre section the number plate goes on to.
