HI folks

Anybody know if I'll have trouble fitting zender sideskirts with door panel pod things/arch extensions from a pre-facelift onto my car (whose face has been lifted :D )
I had a wee search about the forum, but couldn't seem to find an answer..

Cheers

Dont think the sideskirts will be a problem,but the rear arches are different shape on pre and post facelifts so you may have a problem with that?

Are these the pods that appear on the m3's? As ive been trying to get ahold of some m3 side skirts and them pods that run above the skirts. hope it goes well if you try it.

Cheers folks

Its a Zender bodykit, but I think they made quite a few different ones. I'm getting the front bumper as well, but a) I doubt this would fit on my car due to the newer style front bumper setup, and b) the seller tells me its been chopped in half at some point. I should be going to pick it all up tomorrow - I'll post again once i've tried fitting it to let y'all know how i get on..

No major loss if it doesn't fit, paid the princely sum of £30 for the lot off ebay!

Righty

Been to pick up the kit and as Eko said the side skirts, door pods and front arches look like they're gonna fit just fine - the rear arches look like they'll need modified slightly to work, but nothing major, and hey, we don't drive E30s cos we're shy of a bit of bodging do we? :D

The front "bumper" that came with the kit is a complete write off - the top half is missing, so it just looks like a kind of lower splitter type thing, but with no way of attching it to anything else.

I'm quite tempted to try and go all the way with the Zender look, so I did a search on ebay today, and lo and behold there is a Zender front bumper advertised right now. But again, I'm not sure if it'll fit - its off an 86 (so pre facelift i presume) - will i be able to attach this and still have my plastic bumper over the top?
