i recently bought an original mtec 2 kit for my 325i convertible. it's a complete kit with all the the clips, nuts and brackets. I am going to paint it and fit it on myself as i,m very good with DIY stuff. The problem is that there are so many different types of clips,nuts and brackets which i am not sure where some of the clips go.
Is there a diagram or instructions available which i can get my hands on.

your help will be much appreciated, as always

retro fitted one to my cab not too long ago, alll still fresh in the old noodle, let me know if you need any help by PM or refresh this thread.

fitting is easy for tech 2, but getting it to fit well takes a bit of fiddling (by that i mean getting the front and rear bumpers to fit straight and in the right place) but its easy once you know how.

There is a requirement for some drilling on the front valance and wings, so you will need some rust inhibiting primer too.
