Thanks. The color is diamond black metallic but for some reason looks much blacker and less metallic in these pics. This one is probably teh closest to the actual color of the car:

A very nice car indeed, I always thought that the E21 in America was with the big bumpers and the lights at the sides.

Keep it running!!

Where do you normally hunt for these bumpers? I'm in Canada but spend quite a bit of time in WA state - is it usually eBay or this wonderful site here specifically?

Did you have a bodyshop remove the horrid reflectors on the rear fenders?

In your opinion, maybe... Everyone has tuner wheels or bbs. I happen to like mine better.

ebay, bimmerforums, or new from bavauto.com. I welded them up before the car with to the body shop. I also had teh shop weld in a 323i rear valance.
