Thinking of getting an e30 again and have come across a tech 1.
Only thing is that the owner has replaced the tech1 kit with a different kind of bodykit. Not something I would have done but I suppose everyone has different taste.
Car is in good condition but will be bringing it back to original.
How difficult is it to get hold of a full tech 1 body kit - Front and rear bumpers, side skirts, boot spoiler?

Don't want to wait months to find a kit! Or does anybody know some one who could help?

Lastly, What would a good example be worth requiring no work in terms of rust and mechanics with a very clean interior?
I know tech 2s are very popular and fetch good money for a nice example but never really thought of getting a tech1 before this..

On the bright side, you'll know that the kit has been off and the body cleaned up properly at least once since the thing was new! You can't say that about most of them....

Do bmw still stock bodykits or will they be way too expensive?

I doubt it and if they did I'm sure they'd be pricey. Give them a call, is a sure way to find out.
