FS/Trade: Early Chrome Tail Panel - $200 shipped

[Markos]

Hi Folks,

I’m not sure how palatable this price point is but I really don’t want to sell it. I will trade straight up for a chrome tail panel with a fog light hole. This panel needs some elbow grease or new chrome
IMO (I think I am becoming a chrome snob).

Zero dents or gouges:

I secretly want to keep this. Don’t tempt me!

Bump!

Hi Msrkos. I think there was a discussion about Chromed and Aluminum rear panels.
What year E9s were the chrome plated ones for and what year E9s were the aluminum ones for?
Thanks in advance.

Will elbow grease remove all of those pits? The metal looks like alum.

The metal isn’t aluminum, it’s chrome. I haven’t tried very hard to remove the pits. I’ll give it a go.
