Diving Board Bumpers

[squibs]

Hi,

I recently baught a 1988 325e, i was planning on modifying my massive chrome bumpers by pulling them in and painting them black. Does anyone know if you can purchase european style bumpers or have tips on simillar mods made in the past. Thanks.

You could put a Zender or Racing Dynamics bumper kit on it.

you can drill out the gas charge shocks and push them in i did it on mine and it works fine the procedure is this do the front first the back is harder to do , uhh youdrill a hole with an 1/8 drill bit in the back of the absorber closest to the stationary part of it that is fitted to the car then you get a used tire and run into a wall putting the tire between your bumper and the wall make sure the wall is cement not cinderbrick i actually pushed one over lol , the back is the same process but be ready for a large amount of oil to come shooting out of the front and push them in slowly the back ones will have this wierd jel type shit in them its normal anyway hope this helps you out ,it looks sharp too just make sure you push them in evenly cuz they will pivot and try to push out mouldings
