I've been having thoughts of throwing front m3 wings onto my e30. I have to replaced the one fender and have had previose thoughts of installing the wider m3 fenders as the tires currently catch the stock fenders in certain spots.
I've seen these shots in Total BMW and they don't look to bad

Any one ever done it or seen it down?

ya the fronts would bolt right on, the bumper I believe would need some bending to match the fenders. Right now it's just an idea.

MC Rallying make m3 arches/fenders for the stock e30 - added benefit is theyre fibreglass or GRP iirc - so are lighter to boot.

well I found a standard fender at the junkyard. So I'm going to spend the $400 towards other things :cool:
