This the M-technic rear bumper that SHOULD already be on my car. My car is a Sport, which came with all the M-Tech parts.. but as I have stated before, the car was in a pretty bad crash at one time and many of the non-body repairs were done VERY cheaply..
This rear bumper is very hard to find as it is specific to the Ti. Similar in looks to the M3 rear bumper, the Ti has a much shorter overhang in the rear, so it needs a short bumper. I actually drove all the way to Hicksville (I kid you not) NY out on the Island to get it from a guy who lives in CT.
While the sport has M-Technic front and rear bumpers.. it never had the M-Tech side skirts.. those are only for the M3. They happen to fit all E36s except for the Z3.. so I picked these up as well.
Another bit of M3 fluff.. only the M3 has these strut covers. I need to clean them up and polish them, but they do add a nice touch under the hood.
These hood vents are from a Vauxhal Astra GTE Mk 2. A UK car, the company ACSnitzer used them on the famous ACS CLS2 M3 they built in the early 90s.. there was a company making a C/F hood for these cars with similar vents, but it is no longer availible.. but then I found the vents on ebay. All I need to do is purchase a C/F hood and mount them and get the car repainted.
Now for the Fiat part... I suggest you look the name up, it will tell you exactly what I am doing to the car.

very nice stuff..
what are the differences in the two sets of side skirts.

It's hard to see because the M3 ones are black.. but the M3 skirts are referred to as "twisty skirts" The oarts that run from each wheel overlap each other instead of fading out in the centre
