In need of the black tape that goes into the inserts on the e30 m3 bumper.

Is there anywhere cheaper than below?

Seems expensive for a bit of tape!

C3 are out of stock, have been for some time, they are much cheaper than dealers and nothing else on the market is the same material/finish..

it may seem expensive but it lasts.. so in theory you will only buy the right stuff once :)
IIRC schmiedmann have some in stock or failing that you could use black insulation tape for the completely council look :D

I've bought from this guy in the states. Comes in 1 roll so you have to trim but easy enough. OEM stuff.

There's someone selling pre-cut strips also

I don't know what the exact finish is of the original tape. I've only seen a black Evo and as you know they have red tape. I made my own at work from 10yr vinyl. Happy to cut some for you. In fact I've just changed mine from red to a matt black, which looks close to OEM as far as I can see in pictures.
