I didn't have much luck with the search facility trying to find out how to tell which "tech" version I have - or even what this means?

My car is a 325i 2-door, G reg (89?) and it neeeeds a body kit... I've seen loads I like, but I think its the sport model and I don't know whether they're suitable for my non-sport.

Basically ; can you chuck me some links and pics of possible kits, and also a quick rundown on the tech-1, tech-2, sport models and which year they come from / which models are which - I'm well confused.

:cry: 8O

Tech-1 is pre-facelift (up to 88 ) & Tech-2 is post. You need anything from a post-facelift / plastic bumper / tech-2 car. :thumb:

Thanks guys for the info ; after a bit of looking it seems pretty tricky to track one down that I like - Might have to stick with standard for now - maybe just get the bumpers etc colour matched to car with a respray (mine paint job is crap which really doesn't help its looks) - but at least I know what type mine is now! :)
