Opinions on this m3 kit for my convertible

[Thehouseshuffle]

So I've been looking for body kits for my cabrio and don't want anything reiger or cheap looking, so I've been hunting to adapt an mtech 2 kit to my pre facelift, which I understand can bolt straight on with facelift bumper fixtures but also needing work on the rear bumper. But I've recently come across this m3 kit online which seems appealing as I have rust on my near side arch and will need the wing replacing anyway. What are opinions on this kit and do you think it's going to cost a hell of alot more to fit??

Here's a link to the kit

Has anybody fitted this kit?

fibreglass is going to be some hard work to put on, and make it look all straight.. if i was you i would go with a genuine kit, tech1,2... your going to end up wasting alot of money on that kit....

note the rear arch proifile on preface and post face lift cars is different, but this does not apply to all cabs. the kit you show is likely only for a saloon and probably wont fit your cab without major modiufication, at least to the sill covers. then the kit will need more than just simply sticking on and painting optherwise it wil look awful.

a good idea of whats required to fit facewlift bumpers to a prefacelift car (like i say the rear bumper mods may not be necessary)

then look in the wiki, i wrote a guide on fitting Tech 2 bumpers. then you only need to worry about the T2 sill covers if you choose to fit them, cabs have wider sills so its either a cab specific T2 kit (very rare) or some minor mods to a tin top kit.

Have a read through this to get an idea of how involved fitting the kit is:
