Should I mix Tec1 and Tec2 Together

Post Tue Oct 10, 2006 12:47 pm

I have been thinking about fitting the tec2 side pods and skirts and leaving the tec1 front and rear valance.

I know there was a pic of a cab on the zone already that had done this but I cant decided what to do.

What do you guys think??

Thanks

Neil

I have given uo with trying to get Tech 1 side skirts on my cab. Instead, Dips painted the car under the sill so it looks deeper side on. Have a look at the next Ace meet.

You're right that there was a car on here with both Tech 1 & 2 and it looked sweet. I think it was for sale recently.

Post Tue Oct 10, 2006 10:21 pm

Dips ones wont fit my cab i dont think

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

please please dont ruin your cab by sticking some plastic slabs on the side, nothing worse then the tech 2 side skirts and door skirts, they were obviously invented by a drunk stoned German hell bent on the eighties, they are not even cool by way of their ugliness, they are just simply disgusting. cab sill look just fine just the way they are.

Na mr lee has the tec2 version and i have the tech 1

Post Wed Oct 11, 2006 11:45 am

oh yes now I look closely

at the two pictures above, I can see he has the later foglights

I think I'd quite like a tech1 rear - cos the rear boot-wells are so much smaller on the pre-facelift I think it would balance the look from the side? Have you got a side picture please Neil?

Post Wed Oct 11, 2006 11:56 am

sorry mrLEE I couldn't quite make out if you are for or against?

its a close call between liking the tech 2 side skirt and having my toenails pulled out by a gipsy to be sold as a lucky heather substitute on Blackpool prom on Scots weekend......

cliffybabe, reckon your cabby looks spot on as it is, drop that front end 40mm and bobs your fathers brother... do like the chrome/tech 1/clear lights combo.very

Post Wed Oct 11, 2006 12:10 pm

cheers! got to put on my BBS splitties for comparison against the schnitzers, will do a poll when i get em on! Also got clear fronts/side repeaters on order but the b-startds took my cash but still no parcell graces my doorstep a month later

i will name and shame if they continiue to refuse answering my email asking for postage details

and no boot spoiler is the way forward IMO, i reckon yours now would really benefit from rear head rests

when you select reverse gear at night, do you have to have night-vision goggles to see anything behind you?

I think both cars are top dollar, prime examples of tech1 and 2...
except Cliffybabes nose is too high

Cheers mate, the drop is coming this winter. When stu is free of course, going for a suspension upgrade

dont worry neil, youre booked in!!!

its so he can peer down at us from aloft

when you select reverse gear at night, do you have to have night-vision goggles to see anything behind you?

as for reverse lights....here in the middle east labour is cheap, so i carry a small boy in my boot, next to the sub-woofer, when i need to get out of a tight spot i ring him up on the phone i kindly provided for him, he climbs out of the boot and shines a torch behind my car, he has learnt to jump back in to the boot sharpish when the reverse lights go out and i select drive... its a system that works well.
