    91 E30 Alpinweiß II

    Default Minor accident. Minor bodywork needed. Advice?

    Avoided a major pothole on Broadway in Minneapolis, hit another one. Front end of the car dove, snapped front lip spoiler right off (lucky I didn't screw the notorious low M42 oil pan). I need some
    Bodywork done. Not looking for someone who can do this, but someone who will. Private or shop status. ASAP. I don't want to buy a new iS spoiler, as this one made it twenty years and I have NOT seen another. Pictures:

    Minor plastic missing where it was screwed in

    Crack

    Worst, but no pieces missing

    Another crack


    Need it painted alpine white II. Love to have it re-attached as well. May have it get creative.

    Anyone?

    Blunt can get you a new primed one for what it would cost to repair that. Shoot him an E-mail.

    I'll call blunt this morning. I'd be very surprised (but relieved) if they could source one.

    It's made of ABS plastic.

    Jeff, you're probably very right on the cost. I just want it fixed and fixed soon. Thanks for the idea

    Hey Brandon. Just called bavauto to give me info since that was the last place I remember ever seeing one. It's a Kamei 46214. Def discontinued. Open to any ideas, or of someone still has a place or desire to fix my current. Maybe I should consider an iS?

    The rear valance of my E30 is a Kamei. It was purchased in about 6-7 pieces. A lot of plastic filler and fiberglass later, it's one piece. If I had the time I'd help you out.

    No body has any good leads, people, or places to get this fixed right at?
