Sweet work on the bumper there. Did you build up that white bumper to create the red one? Which process did you use?

 

[E12 535i Turbo]

She looks so sweet, the burgandy suits her just fine!!

Well done on this project!!

 

[Sankekur]

That is looking awesome
The first thing I wanted to say when I saw the unsprayed bumper in the fist pics was to get rid of it (the bumper of course) as the the more modern ///M look bumpers just don't look good on the onder BMW's.
Then I saw the rest of the pics, good going there :thumbsup:

thanx guys. hellas i bought myself the fibreglass copy from the original bmw spoiler and then cut out the top indicators part on the white bumper to create this one. the plan was to also put back the chrome bumper but didnt find any in good nick. so i leave it like this to pass roadworthy.
sankekur i wanted to put the alpina spoiler on my car but i also loved this look.

 

[Adi]

Looking nice........the twin of that car is here in JHB, hehehehehehe

Pravesh, have you got some pics? I love these e12's.

 

[Sith]

Congrats on your lovely e12/8 :clap: I grew up with these cars, still own two, and am still absolutely mad about them. Sad I don't see that many on the roads these days, they are a dying breed.

Pravesh, you are looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack, good luck with your search, and let us know if you find one.

 

[DonovanPorter]

thats a good looking E12 color is brilliant
