Touring styling advice

[Brodie320]

Hi guys, i just bought into the whole E30 scene after loving the shape for years, i have a gorgeous blue touring which id like to make look nice n chunky but not too lairy.....
i have no real idea about whats hot and whats not in the world of E30's although ive just added a set of refurbed 15" bbs alloys.
I like the look of the MTEC bodykits (not sure of diff between version 1 and 2 ) i think id like to add one to my tourer and i know this could be stating the obvious but does a saloon front and rear bumper fit right on to a tourer?? Also are they easy to fit? and most importantly do they look ok without the mtec skirts? as i dont really wanna drill my doors. i already have factory side skirts fitted. OR would that all together look well naff???
I like the sound of an mtec boot spoiler, and eyebrows and black grill kidneys to finish it all off.
Any ideas or suggestions?
What i really like the idea of is being able to change everything back to standard without much effort.
Give me some inspiration guys, and pics would be great!

M tec front and rear componants are universal across the range, it's just the sides that differ between 2 and 4 door obviously. SE skirts and an iS lip spoiler always look good on a touring if you don't want to drill your doors. Good luck finding the roof spoiler, they're pretty rare, although there were a couple for sale here not so long ago.

sweet, think youve made my mind up about the brows and grill.
Is yours matt black? looks good.
I take it yours are SE skirts? thats what i have fitted, i like them too.
Do many people fit MTec bumpers front and rear but leave skirts SE? Just wondered how this looks

i have a gorgeous blue touring

Got any pics???

I've got the full m-tec 2 kit and the 'brows to go on mine!!
Just gotta get them sorted out and sprayed up!!

Concentrated on a bit of tuning first so not done anything to the body yet, only styling so far is lowering and tints!!

I think he means the look, not the actual car!

No need to drill the doors as the holes are already there

The only drilling if you fit an MTEC2 will be along the sills to attach the side skirts.

Here's pic of mine, MTEC 2 sides but I'm still waiting for the guy to bring back my TECH 2 Front valance and Rear bumper!:x

Ha ha, something like that!! Not very stealthy with that exhaust system on it though!!!!!!!

I think it's near 60mm - they're fully adjustable (H&R Coilovers) so Sal set it the lowest it could sensibly go, bearing in mind i do a lot of mileage in it and it'll still just get over most speed humps!!

No instructions, nuts, bolts etc etc received yet. If you bump into him give him a nudge It took months to even get them picked up
