Im making the 318i touring i got from Dazleeds in to 325i this winter. Im useing everything that came from my Tech1 sport, so it should go pretty well. Also thinking of fitting a Tech1 kit to the touring, this meens ill have to do a rear light change, as i want it to look spot on. Im thinking of cutting rear valance and welding a pre face one in, with pre face rear lights. Then fit the kit and have it sprayed half and half. Im thinking black at the bottom (from door handles down) and silver for top half. Ill have a 3,64 LHD on there aswell.
