yes both will fit, but to fit the tech 2 it will take a lot more work.

Thanks Nav.
I take it that its the rear bumper / skirt that will need the modding work to get the m-tech 2 kit to fit ?

No modding needed just different locators and stuff. Quite easy really.

IMHO I have owned a facelift sport but think the Mtech 1 kit looks so much better

having read this again, as u put a link up to one of my old threads on the old forum!
The kit which will fit straight on no probs or dramas is the M-tech 1.
I was asking if anyone has fitted an early kit to a facelift car. Most people, infact everyone wants to fit a later facelift M-tech 2 kit to an early car like yours
Fitting an M-tech 2 kit to your car is a shite job as the rear arches have a different curve to them and it won't line up properly, plus theres the point of getting it to stay on the car as all the fixing points are different

I dont see a problem fitting a early kit to a later car! The kit is only really side skirts! The rest of the kit fits under the bumpers!!

yes and the rear does not fit as i said. As the arches are totally different on plastic and chrome cars. Can be done but alot of work

Keep plastic bumpers on, plus you can get late car metal bumpers on the cabs!!
