What do you guys think about this front bumper? Is it worth it to go replica or should I go with the real thing (Rieger)?  http://www.bekkers.com/Merchant2/mer..._Code=be36aero |  |  | | 07-10-2005, 06:28 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 677 |
I would just get the replica. I was looking into that myself, but I cant really afford it especially to hunt down my color to paint it. No one will probably even notice its a replica...besides look at all the bimmers rolling on replica wheels. __________________  my new world | | | | | 07-10-2005, 06:43 AM | #3 | | Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Posts: 93 |  hmmm....
you're looking at $550 for the replica (you've got to add the brake ducts and lower fillers and rub strips) and what's the stock piece running? i dunno, i think i'd go the munich route... __________________

True, the Rieger kits are just too damn expensive!! Now which do you prefer, that one or the E46 m3 style? I like both and can't make up my mind. I think I like that one cause it looks more "original?" However the E46 style looks meaner. ARGGG, decisions  Arn't you the girl from Tampa? I think we spoke before on cardomain? If its you, good to hear from ya!! | | | | | 07-10-2005, 06:49 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 |

I personally would go with the E46 M3. It does make it look that much more aggressive. But I know a lot of BMW purists dont like putting the E46 style on an E36.. But I say screw it and dont conform. __________________

And BTW....... I wouldnt waste $99 on the brake ducts. No one sees the brake ducts at all, they are strictly for cooling purposes. I would try to compose a quick set out of carboard and duct tape. Then once you know they fit, I would fiberglass over them, sand em, and paint em with flat black real quick. Id imagine its about 2 hours of work, with a whole bunch of off time in between while the resin dries overnight. I may be cheap, but Id rather do that, than waste $99. __________________

Well.....If I don't have brake ducts now, why do I need them if I change my bumper? And what of the filler and the strip?? I like the e46 look front bumper but I don't care for the rear bumper. Are there any good sites that have body kits out there... http://www.kest-tuning.com/shop/ | | | | |
