Robert,
I should have the side bumper cover for you, they don't come in body color, you have to get them painted.

I have some spare stock control arm bushings also, you should buy a new control arm, don't go used there.

Your car is too nice to replace anything except body parts with used. Control arms and bushings are cheap, and the cost of installing negates any savings on used parts. I would go with the late E36M3 solid, centered bushings. The stock ones wear out almost immediately, and the offset ones are way too harsh for a cabrio, at least for my old guy (47) tastes. The solid centered ones last and tighten up the handling (especially turn-in) but are not harsh or "crashy" sounding over bumps.
