Nose Panel/ M3 Front Bumper Upgrade tons of Questions

[beemaboi]

Hey Guys,

Was wondering whether any of you can give me advice on these mods for my 92 325is.

Since i live in Boston, and have to park on the street, the front of my car has been bumped into several times now. So currently my front bumper is crooked, my nose panel and kidney grills are pushed in quite a bit, and my hood dosen't exactly line up to well anymore.

So I'm trying to find a body shop around my area to fix all of this.
But was wondering whether i should try to find parts myself, or just have the body shop order the parts.

Do you guys have any prices off the top of your heads for:

M3 front Bumper w/ mouldings and slatted grill
97 Nose Panel w/ Kidney Grills
Radiator Support (Hopefully will get everything to line up correctly)
Wheel wells
Underpanel (either jt-designs or OEM)

Also has anyone purchased any of those abs plastic replica M3 mirrors on ebay? Do they fit well?

Thanks in advance!

I have the mirrors from eBay and they're fine, the only problem I had was trying to get them wired up because the plug was different but if you're the only one driving your then theres really no need to always have to move them.

I bought the 97+ grill for my car but havent installed it yet buts a pretty cheap mod...I think you can get it for about $130 with the kidney grills. Let me see if I can find the website I ordered mine from a while back.

I also have a M3 front bumper and it is a direct replacement for your old bumper and takes about 5 minutes to bolt up.

By the wheel wells do you mean the wheel lining on the inside behind your wheels? If so, I was told that those parts are pretty cheap at the dealer...less than $30 if I remember correctly.

As far as an underpanel, since my plastic one came off, I havent replaced it because I cut some of the wheel lining on my car so theres nothing to bolt it up to other than the bumper but I'd say the JTD one is a good piece from what I've heard from others. I really need one myself though because the engine bay does get dirtier without one.

Good luck man.

Thanks Joe!!

Did you get your parts from the dealer with the CCA discount, or did you go somewhere else?

Yeah the plastic wheel well liners are totally shredded up and need replacing, glad to hear it will be around $30!!!

Well the mirrors I got from eBay of course, the grill I got from some website and I cant remember the name. The front bumper I got from a salvage yard which was a bad idea since it was repaired but back then bumpers were still being sold for a lot online. Now you can find a used bumper in the for sale forums for pretty cheap. I'm not a BMWCCA member yet but I have been thinking about signing up for discounts and the Roundel magazine.

[QuestMCoupe]

I'm sorry man, I dont remember. It was a shop that had more than one auction up at the same time of the same mirrors.

Where do you get the 97+ front nose piece and grills for cheap?
