style of the Airdam that bolts to the existing Front Valance. It is usable only up to build date 9/84 according to my ETK, ie the early style valance. This spoiler doesn't incorporate the fogs or turns but does include air ducts for the front brakes. Aaron was kind enough to send me pics and they confirm what I've found in the ETK.

The fog lights and directionals are integral to the M-tech front spoiler. There are also two plastic caps that go next to each fog and at each side of the license plate mount, that covers the fog mounting tabs.

The cover bolts on to the chrome euro bumpers (There are built in studs that go thru the euro bumpers and you have nuts that tighten everything up from the inside). If they are broken, then it won't fit correctly.

Also, you don't use a front valance with the M-tech kit - the bottom portion, in fact, is molded for the oil cooler that comes standard on euro M535is and 535is.

Hope this helps answer some questions.

This is off an 83 528i euro E28. Paint is worn on bottom, will need to be repainted. I do not have the tow hook covers. Includes 2 piece brake ducts. Asking $125 plus shipping from Central NY. May consider trade for E23 parts. I also have the rear rubber spoiler. Can email pic's.

Thanks,
