speakeasy 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2004 good luck. plus it wouldnt fit unless you get the guards too. which would be even harder to find than the bumper. id give up on this idea if i were you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shorty 1 Report post Posted August 14, 2004 Is it just coz the M3 bumper is wider that it won't fit or are all the brackets and clips different, coz my dad is quite keen to try and make it fit if the clips are similar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Spargo Report post Posted August 15, 2004 Could we stop the blatant spread of misinformation? It is not wider than a normal E30 piece. But the mounts are different. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted August 15, 2004 sport evo wings are wider, hence the need for evo3 hood seals....dunno about the other m3s compared to e30....but why bother? too much hassle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sport Evo hood seals are to smooth the airflow around the bonnet, you can get bumper seals that do the same thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Andrew Report post Posted August 15, 2004 front bumper was 2 cm wider at each point last time it was measured on the one going on gavin bellars car. Not really so much wider but to fit into the arches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
