Re: rear wing compatability and facelift '97

nice. so it seems clear i have the rear lights, bootlid and bumper from a later model. http://www.retrogearknob.com/Z3/IMG_8363.JPG the wing on your facelift below raises up a tad to be a bit more "hippy" than the the pre version - to dark to get a piccy but mine defo does this - so to my ...
