My E21 http://www.norcal-ls1.com/multimedia/data/500/238DSCN0899-med.JPG
Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have it looking like this again. It has sat for the last 6 months with a bad headgasket but if all goes well it will be running tomorrow afternoon. While the head was off my shop foreman did a quick polish job on the intake and exhaust ports.

If you take the rubber out of the bumper carefully the metal clips will stay attached and those metal clips snap right into the body. You have to repositon a few so they line up right but other than that it snaps right on. The rear spoiler I have is a BBS one that is for an E30 but it fits well on my E21. I was going to put the spoiler on my E30 but the polish I use on my E30 is too slick and the spoiler won't stick with the 3M trim tape.

Looks awesome. I love the way the euro plate is mounted.

Thanks for the complements guys. The car is a lot cleaner that it was this morning but i don't think I'll have it looking like the pic for a few more weeks.

BMYJNKY,
What did you do with the 2 protruding threaded bolt things at both ends of the rubber molding? did you grind them off, or use them?
Thanks,
Andre

I think, now don't hold me to this cause when I did this to my car it was like 3 years ago. I think that if you position the clips right the threaded bolt things will line up with holes in the body work.

Good eye. The wheels in my sig are actually the older ones, the BBS basketweavs are on it now. I'm thinking of selling the chrome ones if anyone is interested, they are the factory steel wheels that someone had chromed. There is some rust in the center part but as you can see in my sig it isn't that noticable. I have 4 used(about 30-35% tread left) 205/60/13 Sumitomo HTR4's that will go with the wheels. Make me an offer, they are just taking up space at my parents house.
