Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 I was going to say G-zero's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30ftw 410 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) I was going to say G-zero's Yup, Got a set of g-zeros widened out they look phat cuz. Too much chrome to take pics of the face, so sadly will have to see at the hamilton meet Those photos make the paint look 1000x waaaay better than it is. See it in the flesh and you will know what I mean lol. And F*ck the skidplate has no chance of fitting under the m50 sump without some mean mods. Don't know how I would mount it either... Anyone ever retrofitted a factory skidplate to a non SA car? Also front is as high as they will go - Rear is as low as it will go. Unless I yank the adjuster out it'd go about another 10-20mm lower in the rear. Edited March 9, 2010 by e30ftw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 I would have thought it would be easier to get a skid plate from an E34 etc and make that fit around your chassis/front subframe? Atleast then you would have the sump shape, would have thought then you would just have to make the front mounting arms fit. Could be completly wrong though?

e30ftw 410 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 TBH I wasn't even thinking of one till I nab'd the one I have now for $25 off of trademe, thought why the heck not could save me some drama. I reckon if I chopped the side mount arms and extended them about 15mm each side it would fit, then just a matter of hooking up the mounting points somehow or just weld the f*cker on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30ftw 410 Report post Posted March 11, 2010 Cheers guys, it's 1st day out in public seems alot of people have noticed it haha I wouldn't have thought those skid plates are as tough as others being mounted to just that front radiator support? Also if you go back through pics you will see on my e30 that front bit where that skid plate bolts to wouldn't work as mine is completely bent upwards!
