This stuff just arrived at my house before Christmas, however, sold the E30 M50, so before I cry… I need to get rid of this stuff… just want to break even.

M-tech 1 side skirts - $350.00

euro bumpers - de chromed and ready to be painted - no mounting hardware ( have list of what you need) - $350.00

stock rear trunk wing - $50.00

I can get a GREAT price on shipping as my buddy’s GF works for FEDEX…

email me or pm me for pics and info.

and he’s right in toronto, too

an m tech I kit would DEFINATELY get you a ton of attention

an m tec II kit on an early bumpered car would also have that effect, and Fil @ Eurostyle (where I got my sideskirts from, also in toronto. josh and i went up there to grab mine) makes a kit to fit

weld what’s visible, cut runners off the collector and flange. weld runners on bench. weld pipes back on. All whilst backpurging with argon.

newman. check out [kodiakracingwheels.com](http://kodiakracingwheels.com)

THEN go to prices and check out 17 diameter and check out the gold ones. they look EXACTLY like BBS that a lot of E30s like to run. and you can get them in 17X10 for 549 for a single set(prices go down the more sets you buy)

Yeah, it’s 549 X 4 for a set… I’d rather get the works…
