So this morning I went out to my car and there was a large hand sized white scrape/scratch/dent on the drivers side rear corner of my bumper and the bumper itself is now hanging lower on that side. Of course no one left a note. I will probably be having the bumper repainted.

My question is though... after searching I have found that a company called motormec (www.motormec.co.uk) makes an "m3 look" rear diffuser for non-m e36's.

It seems like alot of people think it doesnt exactly look right...does anyone have any pictures of something like this installed on their e36?
How exactly does it install? Would it be something I should just have the body shop do during the repaint of the bumper?

it looks like the lower peice thats almost falling off in the pic can be taken off and the peice you want looks like it either clips in the the stock holes or can be made to fit.
sorry about your car hope this helps

Ironically my car was hit while parked today as well. =(

And I have a M3 style rear defuser that I bought from Bavarian Autosport for like $40. It fits fairly well.

does anyone by chance know the part number for the black bumper trim that runs around the rear bumper?
It its cracked and pretty roughed up and I will probably have to replace it.
