Both kits will fit!!

[nav786]

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

Sorry to go ot but Nav, did I see your car in performanceBMW a long time ago?

[nav786]

yeh prob did, was in the back.

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

HTH

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!!

[Simon13]

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

[stevetigger]

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

sorry to be so simple but will an m-tech 1 front splitter fit on a facelift model?????

[stevetigger]

I would thing so, but others on the site think all this bodykit stuff is rocket science!!
