As liam said,sides will fit,front and rears are different size,but front will fit with some work(odd bumpers then though!!).

Could always do a deal with me for an iS front bib for your rear skirt?

i dont think that is mate u have the old style rear lights on that

[NH325CAB]

i was under the impression that the post face lift cabs retained the old style rear lights? Am i wrong?

Yeah the new lights went on the facelifts, Urs is the same as a chrome bumper model mate

FROM BMW Heritage:

By 1987 all the European E30's received a minor face lift, with the exception of the M3 which remained the same. Chrome style bumpers were replaced with color coded bits or black style. Just about all post 1987 E30's had power steering with the exception of the 318 carburetor model, and the accelerator pedal had a lighter spring. In the final years of the convertible only a few were equipped with the newer style tail lights Only the final few years of the convertible gained the newer style tail lights.

So i DO have a face lift (being a 1990)!

well i hope someone says this can be done
as my latest dream involves a touring and a tech 1 kit for starters

im deffo gonna have a go at this either way

Cabriolets were subject to a later facelift, you see metal bumper cabs with G/H registrations on.

hmmm, ok.... its just that i remember meeting Iain (HartgeH27) and he thought it was rare to see a post face lift with a full Mtech 1 kit.

I stand corrected then....

[Richy325iTouring]

to fit the front you will need to change the front vallance
someone give me a early rear bumper and i'll see if i can get that on the phase 2 car

ive done tech 2 kit on a phase one with some work to the rear bumper but not seen it done the other way round

my dad got a 1990 h plate cab and its still got the chrome bumpers but it has got the smiley headlights "strange"
