Mk1 E30 NEED QUESTIONS ANSWERED...new roof/ m tech 1 kit

[Ibz_T]

Hey there, recently bought a Bmw e30 320i Convertible 1988 (Box Standard) - Pre face lift...and have a few queries:

1. Am I right in thinking I can fit the mk1 m tech 1 body kit?

2. If so, where can I find one? Is anyone selling one?

Thirdly, I need to replace the roof, got a price of £425 supplied and £550 to fit; is it difficult to fit it myself or do-able?


Advice appreciated

Roof is quite difficult to do, suggest you leave it to the experts.

Yes, the tech 1 kit will fit your car but you need the cabby specific side skirts.

A tech 1 front and rear valance, 2 chrome bumpers and a set of cabby side skirts just sold on ebay for just under a grand. Expect to pay about £300 for the side skirts alone, if you can find them.

Wow that was fast!

Excuse my lack of knowledge but what is a "valance" ??

The plastic part which is below the bumpers front and rear. Wraps around the car.

e30topless has a tech 1 cab specific kit for sale. Might be worth a PM.
