Genuine sports have to wear them.

Yours, Barry's and Scott's are lovely. Barry's isnt wearing the worst bits of the tech two kit though, which is a good choice imo.

I still dont like the Tech 2 kit!

Especially the ironing board :D

Standard bumpers that are colour matched plus if you must, SE sills. Tech2 is very much a yesterday-look without giving any classic appeal.

With it being gloss black it will look deadly no matter what bumper just needs the right rim.

If you really want a tech 2 you should buy a sport but if you are attached to your shell then you should do what you think looks best. Just bear in mind how you will feel when someone asked "is that a sport?"

how will the fool who asks "is it a sport" feel when you explain to them that tech 2 sports never came in straight black or with an M52 under the bonnet

Retrofitting a Tech 2 kit is uber council, if in doubt , just try selling one to see what sort of vermin they attract ! :(

PS I have one for sale :) :(
