whats a tech two kit these days?

[verde]

What sorta price would I pay for a tech 2 kit? I fancy one before the car gets painted. Are the fiberglass ones any good? Should I keep it genuine and just pay the extra[/img]

[snakebrain]

Keep it real.

[verde]

Thats my thinking too. Those fiberglass ones look nasty as hell. Never seen one in the flesh though.

[lyricalnut02]

genuine, i wouldnt pay more then £250 for a good condition kit. Dont touch fibreglass scrap.

[verde]

250 quid for a whole tech 2 kit?! I thought they were nearer the 500 mark

[leeparkes]

Genuine kits are around £400-£500 mark.
I have seen some nutters asking £800 on ebay.

[lyricalnut02]

thats what i would pay.

[verde]

Id be loathed to pay more than 450 bucks tbh

I'am sure these nutters are bruvs and paid 2 bob for them

Buy without the spoiler or sell it on

[bss325i]

Good luck finding a genuine complete tech 2 kit for £250!

[Jozi]

I got lucky, 120euro for a rear bumper, skirts and 4dr pods. Add the front bumper & valance + touring rear spoiler and it wasn't quick becoming expensive enough.

i have done already, but i know its rare to find one at that price. Over priced plastic reallly at 400-500 nicker.

forget a mtech2, put the money towards some real bbs rs splits. You'll get your money back when its time to sell the car and rs's as far as im aware are always in high demand but i dont know about recently as ive seen alot of people rocking fake splits as there cheap and require less up keep as you dont give two sh*ts about them.

[BATTS91]

Or towards m52 ? Lol

[Jim320i]

Its not as if the Mtech 2 kit loses money

Buy genuine and it will be worth the same if not more when it comes to selling it aslong as its not shaaaged.

A Cheap fibre glass one, depending on the buying price wont be worth as much when coming to sell it

£400 should get you a good one if you hold out, you might get lucky and get one cheaper but its doubtful.

Over priced plastic reallly at 400-500 nicker.

You could say that about all manor of car parts.

Personally i think tech 1 boot spoilers at £100-150 are over priced but thats the going rate for them now.

A year or two ago they were worth £50

You say that but to be frank, have you ever priced up a full tech 2 kit new?

E30 parts prices new and second hand are only going one way and that is purely down to supply and demand.

Parts get rarer = prices go up.

[verde]

I definately dont intend to buy one with the spoiler, I hate tech 2 spoilers, I sold one to a lad on here. As for real rs. Yes id love a set but fuck that price. I intend to move out next year, id rather have a flat than wheels. Theyr now making schmidt th lines reps so im gunna grab a set. Bbs 14s for winter and schmidts and borbets with marrakesh centres to match the spoilerless tech 2ed car. Judging by everyones input its still possible to get a tech 2 for less than 500 bucks which is pleasing. Car might be painted sooner than I thought

Whats an Mtec2 upper front bumper and boot spoiler worth then would you say?

[Rav335uk]

Boot spoiler about £30-£50 depending on condition

Front bumper about £50-£70

[bss325i]

Front upper bumper more like £100 on its own.

I've had that and £120 for a front lower part and that was 4 years ago! Parts are a lot rarer now.

[Jozi]

Front bumper or valance? I paid a bit to much for mine but I couldnt get one anywhere in good condition.

[bss325i]

£100 for the bumper, £120 for the valence.

[Jozi]

£100 for the bumper, £120 for the valence.

I did alright then! Same numbers but in euro's.

[verde]

Utter sex. Theyr pretty close to the 1600 quid originals. But wont hold the same ultra human strenths

[leeparkes]

Do they do them in 16"?

[verde]

Aye. My only beef is they havnt yet announced 9j. It has to be 9j before I put my order in

[sunnyr83]

Why not go for the Se skirts and Is lip with a Se boot spoiler look. Looks smart and less future maintenance. (and cheaper)

[leeparkes]

I went for that look a few years ago but i went for a tech-1 boot spoiler.
