Want to get it right! Just aquired a Malachite Tec 1 Rear Spoiler off ebay (bloody rare in this colour!!)
Drills and Bodywork .... bit scary!
Any advice gratefully received

No (tec-1 is quite small!) shes just a totally unmolestead 325i Cab with Factory fit BBS 15"'s, Full Natural Leather, only want add tec-1 as its an appropriate 'period' option

I've just fitted a M-Tech 1 spoiler on mine, the M-Tech II was looking a bit big....
I know all the holes are the same for a 3 spoilers.

I expect you can get the template from BMW - they usually have that sort of thing...
Be very sure you want to though - I love mine but a lot of people prefer no spoiler on a cab & you can't go back...!

I'm in the same position ....
Ziggy ... any pics of yours with the spoiler ??
Mustard ... if you find the part no. for the template can you let me know. Tried a dealer over here and he said there was no such thing !!!
Thanks,

Ziggy your car is looking very nice mate!
I personally think they suit the tec1 spoiler,infact IMO the tec1 boot spoiler is the nicest available for the E30 and from what ive seen,it suits most models.
Good luck

Cheers dude
I've done loads on it recently, so a gallery thread'll be coming up once a few more things are done & I've taken some decent piccys...
& unless the car's a tech-2 (in which case a tech-2 spoiler is good!), it's tech-1 or nowt for me every time... My cab came with a tech-2 on it. Looked $hite.

Very nice car , Ziggy.
Think the spoiler looks good ... but can understand why some don't like them on a cab. I was looking at the german version of the e30zone and under their galleries I didn't find one cab with a spoiler. Loads had the full mtech i and 2 kits but with no spoiler. Strange german chaps !!
