anyone got these here in the US? I know there's a full set in ATL, but they've got a car attached - so probably more than I'd want to mess with...unless someone wanted to go on in on the thing w/ me....

I got mine threw Steve Haygood.
New euro bumpers, and new late euro valance. Along with turn signals and fogs and euro grills.

Here is my late Euro valance before it was mounted.

And here is my US front valance still on the car.

Notice the cut outs for the turn signals and the fog lights in the Euro one, and the lack of them in the US.

Hope this helps

Thanks!
Exactly,helped.

Well I have Euro valance in good shape,but the postal costs to U.S. should be horror prices,I think about 100-120$ only for shipping.... :(

yeah, i guess that would be a bargain if you'd give them away.......seriously, maybe someone could arrange a group buy & get hooked up with a container going across the ocean? Happens with other car parts all the time....

to get Steve Haygood pricing, contact...wait for it...Steve Haygood.

to get an idea. check the websites with pricing. Any transfer of information on pricing on parts purchased a while ago could possibly have significant differences due to the price adjustment by BMW a few months ago.
