    Front bumper filler interested?

    Thinking about having this cast in aluminum and ready to be painted if there is enough interest.

    Interested?

    The original Racing Dynamics unit, plus the knock-offs were done in fiberglass. Fiberglass would be lighter, and more easily finished. Have you looked into that option?

    Which piece, what year? I have a 91 and removed my front plate and now need some sort of filler (part #51118108169). It's kind of a pricey piece for a small piece of plastic, so was thinking of fabricating something (not sure out of what yet).

    If the piece your are talking about is the strip that runs between the brake ducts - I bet there would be a lot of interest. These were made before but I think they are not available anymore. Here are some pictures:

    For me, this is the piece I am missing (they go for like $150 on-line).

    That is the piece the one you circled but it is solid from side to side no indentation or fastener receivers.

    They make two versions - one as shown above to mount a front plate with a place for the 2 mounting screws, and one that is pointed all the way across for no front plate.

    This would be non-plate version.

    You can use mine as a reference part for your effort if you can make A and C pillar covers also.

    If you have an extra set of those i may be able to vacuum form them. I have never seen the part so I do not know.

    This is a great idea. Many of us could use fresher parts. Some are still available from BMW, depending on color -- others you would have to buy the wrong color and then re-cover them. For those of us doing things like headliner replacements, it would be great to start with a new blank piece and cover to match. I know I need both A-pillars.

    Cheers, John

    I am thinking of vacuum forming a new headliner blank. I will start a new thread.

    Hello All- Did anyone ever fabricate this part? Or have one for sale? I’m looking for the filler without the holes for front plate bracket. Thanks and ready to buy!
