Hello, do you have a guide on fitting the side panels for the M Tech II kit?

Can anyone explain the exact difference between cabrio sill covers and the coupe 2dr sill covers? Thanks

Yes, I read the guide last night, very informative. But I am hoping to find a picture side by side comparing both the Coupe sill covers and the Cabby sill covers... I am planning to put Cabby sill covers on my Coupe in the Springtime, I will be documenting that. I can't foresee it being all that difficult to retrofit onto the Coupe. All the E30 forums in North America say it cannot be done... :?

I have the original BMW mounting guides, I could try emailing them to you (a few MB).
Both for the Cabrio and for the Coupé. Send me a PM.
