Bollocks Dave.......
I threw one out on Sunday 'cos I thought no-one would want it!
There must be one in your local 'yard.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

That's a brilliant idea, it'll stop those expensive sounding scrapes when trawling the council estates for chav's to pelt with eggs !

MMMMM-MMMMMMMM That sport is one badass looking machine. Looks very well I must say! Another idea for the melting pot!

So who's going to track down a part number for the 325i front lip???? Surely it's not going to be an expensive piece

Thats what i thought, worth a try anyway. i had a porsche 911t front splitter on my last car (97 almera sri) and it looked awesome, but its the wrong shape for the bmw. Oh and my mates left porsche so i would have to buy one :cry:

That South African splitter looks even better, impossible to find though by the sounds of things and expensive also

Yeah read that, sounds like a bit more hassle than I'm up for at the moment!

Very interested to see how the standard i lip looks on yours.

Ive a buddy with a sport wearing a tiny front splitter which up untill now remained a mystery as to what it was off. Mystery solved I think. It looks very well on his, but as from the description in the thread, it is a little short. It doesnt reach all the way around to the end of the techII spoiler in front of the wheels.

I was going to taper it off at the edges, a few oe splitters are like that. as long as i can give it a nice profile it should be cool. Lots of pics i think.
