BMW bumpers on Galants...

[platano]

i nottice the dimensions of the 3 series are pretty close to the 8G. I've seen a couple side skirts and front ends on bimmers that seem like they would look good on the 8G with some fittment modding. What do ya'll think? Im probbaly not the first to bring this topic up..but i havent seen any discussion around here recent times. I know the sideskirts would probably fit easier with less modification than a bumper. I love bmw aftermarket sides because they look so clean they can almost go on any mid sized sedan with similar lines. I know this probbaly wouldn't be cheap either but im prepared for that too. Your thoughts, please?

Theirs a Austrian galant, with a 3 series front end. Looks very good on that car, but like you said its not going to be cheep. But the end results will be worth it.

[platano]

are you talkin about that black one with those damn huge chrome rims, right? its widebody too right? i've sen that one. i'm not tring to go that far with the wide body.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

No its red with chrome rims wide body also, cant find the pic. Someone should have it around here

THe red Galant is from Brazil not Austria.

[njjfudge]

The black one is a VRG with something added to the bottom

[IceDouTGaLanT]

opps, yeah wrong country. But thats the car im talking about

[RAZ_76]

They could have done better on wheels and grill for that black one. That always cracks me up , people that spend so much money on paint, body and engine and then they slap some shitty looking wheels on there.

[Jeffylou87]

I like the red one.. Minus the tails and exhaust tip.. Could use some wider wheels too..

[njjfudge]

LOL yeah. Last I saw the black one had 22" on it.

THose 22s look better then the above pics but now they can get rid of the tails, chrome door handles....throw up and do something with that fugly grill.

[wright06jhs]

There both nice, but the read ones i hate the tails also.
The grille on the black one looks cheap...like Dollar General store cheap. The rest is nice enough tho

[platano]

yeah, i saw both of those a whiiiile back too. dont care for either..

What are the dimensions that you measured on the 8th Gen and the 3 series?

[99 galant]

the Red galant would look better with JDM tails. it would flow better with the look of the car

[RAZ_76]

the Red galant would look better with JDM tails. it would flow better with the look of the car

Yes and both grills painted black.

[keta11]

thats actually one of a few pictures that an altezza looks good..

[99 galant]

what year 3-series fits our cars? and how much would it cost to have it made to fit? we can either see how well this guy im working with does the flares or we can talk to cali! CHEAP BMWs FTW! haha :lol:

edit: im also not a fan of the rear for the red. its not just the tails its the COMPLETELY shaved bumper. just doesnt look right for some reason...

[shockwave000]

I was actually thinking about this for a while too, but with an M3 front bumper. 8g Width: 68.5 in.; 2001 325i Width: 68.5 in.

[VegasMatt]

Well the OP said he compared the dimensions, and they are close so Id like to see his numbers on how off they are.

[99 galant]

matt shave your handles! that red G looks sick without handles :D

[therev]

The BMW Bumper isnt cheap t all, theirs replica bumpers that are cheaper, ive seen them around on some other forums might be worth googling

im just going by sight. i never technically measured any car

[VegasMatt]

OK cool, then maybe we need to look into it. Thanks!

[lonestar22]

whats bmw about either of those cars?

[dronesurfboards]

bmw bumpers belong on bmw's. those type of conversions got played out in 99.
