What did you do to your E9 today?

when I bought my car the original grilles had the black verticals

Finished euro bumper swap on my 74. Before and after pictures attached. I used the Blunt Tech Taiwanese SS set. They look nice but don’t expect holes to be in the same place on each piece. After many adjustments, measuring twice and drilling once (almost) I’m pretty happy with the results. Great for a driver like mine.

Great suggestion Merdad, thank you.

That is true, and at one point I was going route. I also have an NOS mat chrome hood grills.

Hi Merdad,
If you have one hood grille that has the matt Chrome side, then we possible have a matching set between the two of us! I have one also, let me dig it out of my parts stash tomorrow.
edit-pics added: I only have a Left hood and right fender trim in this color combo. (Any one has the right hood and Left fender in satin for sale? )

here you clearly see the dual tone of the hood grille; chrome on top, satin in the sides.

Fender grille, also NOS, full satin:

(the pic seems to be a bit 'out-focus' but that is just because of the satin texture that gives this impresssion. The fender grille has both 4 horizontal slats and the 3 connection pieces in satin ).

More progress, three belt trims installed with 3D printed spacers so they don’t rub on the paint and cause wrinkles from movement. Trunk panels in place.

That bicycle makes me very nervous. All bicycles should remain 15 feet from a newly painted car.

You can’t see the Yakima box hanging over the coupe!

Hi Erik,
I do have a set.

Looking great!

Gave the new indicator lenses a little tickle with the polish and wondered whether or not to fit them on. I'm leaning towards yes!

Chris--My driver side belt trims have wrinkled the paint I think because some of the fasteners were put on too tight. What do the 3-D printed spacers look like and where can I get them? Thanks, Drew

I can get you a set

 

[HB Chris]

I do not know if I can get these yet, the friend with the 3D printer would need to commit to making these and he has other projects. I will keep everyone informed.

Carl used to have them a long while back, that I used on my CSi. He may still supply them.

I bought my spacers from Carl as well, back in 2017.

 

[HB Chris]

I talked to him today, he still stocks them, 15 cents each.

Finally found tan arm rests and removed the bluish/black ones.
Thanks to @whalem6.

Received my rims back from powder coating. Had new tires installed...

 

[BarneyT]

Moving toward Drivability, another couple weeks I’ll have it. New Tires and re-finished rims installed. The SS bits from Fritz are installed.

First tank of gas and 40 miles on the road today...
