They're at a friend's house out of state, but I will have them in my hands mid October.

That'd be great. Please keep me posted. You wouldn't happen to have euro headlights as well, would you?

I have a set of H1/H4 Hellas which look just like the Euro lights.

e28 euro bumpers to e12 body

if you mean euro e28 bumpers, then they should fit. You can install the euro e28 valence with e28 turn signals and fog lights, then add the bumper. The e28 euro lights are much more work from what I understand.

That's very true. Everything will bolt up, as seen here:

The lights won't work strictly speaking, but I like the 5.75" lights on the E12 anyway.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm still looking for a straight e12 euro bumper. However is hard to come by. Hopefully someone hits me up with one soon.
