    GERRYC - nice work! But do you have more pictures of this done? I'm contemplating on getting one (if i can find one) but I'm undecided if I should wait until i get some euro bumpers or go ahead and slap it on. Sorry it's hard to see the pic cuz its black w/ the shadow. Thanks dude!

    My preference is:

    1) Alpina
    2) Hartge
    3) IS
    4) Motorsport

    Running an IS now with ducts for the brakes cut out and holes for the oil cooler but also have an Alpina.

    Sure. I can post some taken with a real camera, or at least out in the sun so it's less blurry.

    OK, now that is pretty much incredible. I've never seen one painted to match before. Moar pics!

    More pics of the chop job to fit BBS spoiler and tuck.

    Again, cleaning things up soon and painting spoiler. It will get prettier.

    Someone forgot about Hella. Yes, Hella did make front under bumper spoiler for E21. It looks very much like the BBS's but the crease lines stretch to the side of the car. I'll dig a pic for that one...

    you also forgot about the foha.

    such a tough call for me. I think it really depends on how the rest of the car is setup, ie: US or euro bumpers, or no bumpers for that matter. Obviously many of them would look down right dumb without any bumpers, and then some beg for running bumperless.

    All that said, I have always had a soft spot for the Alpina, and the BBS/Zender (& all other similar variants). A chin spoiler really finishes off the look, not to mention the aero benefits, and an E21 without one typically looks naked or unfinished to me.

    Yay, I get to whore my cah out. I dont really have any good pics tho. Sportmaxx makes those wheels and many other similar ones in 15x7 15x8 and in 16 inch too. (i didnt look at 17 inch) Mine are 15x8 et0. they make em et 15, and et 30 in all sizes im pretty sure... 15x8 et0 you need sticky wheel weights on the inner lip as i tried static balance on the inner lip with hammer on weights and I shaved them with the tie rod.

    Does anybody actually like the square headlamp conversion? Or was that an 80's thing?

    I'm not following you. Yes, you're right that they just started selling them in 7" widths, but it sure looks like the pics you posted are the 8" wide wheels, and sixcyl320i already confirmed his were.

    Found it. Hella spoiler:

    I like that Hella spoiler a lot! I assume they're pretty rare in the states?

    What are those trim pieces above the headlights? What do you guys think about that look? I'm thinking it might go good with my headlight wipers on my 323...
