Hi all, how can you check that a MTEC II kit is genuine, with it still being on the car?

Cheers

check the rear spoiler on drivers side just above the tailights for a sticker saying 'M-Technik', there is also 2 stickers on the side pods but not too sure where

also the front bumper should be 2 separate pieces - top bumper + valance

if they are one piece then its a copy

the parts are marked/ stamped with the BMW logo etc. Replica front ends also are in 1 piece instead of separate bumper & lower front spoiler. Driver front door pod has Mtecnic sticker as does boot spoiler on the lower lip.

on the front valance at the side should be the bmw stamp and a load of wrighting, check all the parts of the kit carefully and you will see the mark of bavaria on every part!!!!( if its genuine :D )

Mine doesn't have the stickers, but it is stamped with the BMW logo on all parts of the kit.
Should I get stickers for it?
