It's a pre facelift. It'll go on you car. I'm sure the grills are obtained but you should be able to make your own if not.

Now that's subjective question. You also need about a hundred for a nice paint job?

Tbh might be worth contacting people on eBay breaking. There's a guy called drilla who has a few e21s being broken in the for sale section and he's reasonable.

is Drilla his ebay user? iv contacted most of the guys with e21s breaking, and have only heard back from one who didnt quite know if that skirt is welded or bolted to the car. waiting for him to get back to me. also waiting for the garage to get back to me as i want to know if he can fabricate the piece needed and weigh up the costs. but to be honest id rather just buy a better quality skirt as the one on the car right now is just holding more rust than car.
