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

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.
