Hey zone.
I have been searching for about 6months now for a geunine mtech 2 front number and valance and have only seen one for sale on ebay which went for about £200 for upper and £190 for lower valance..
I have given up all hope of finding a genuine one FOR NOW. And to get my baby on the road I need to know the best place to get a replica...
While I have seen people attaching the replica mtech 2 front bumper to a chrome behind behind as well, or bolting it right on, would have though a reinforcement (ie chrome bumper) would be better due to if I have a impact and the fibreglass will obviously just crumple..
anyone know of a decent replica supplier and fitters...
Let me know... As at the end of my tether...
And No i don't want to spend ie 600-800 for a full mtech kit as my car cost that much..
Thanks

As mines has some crappy fibreglass on the front... with holes for the nuts to go as you can see, and gap between bumper and car which can fit two fingers through so need a good replica or just the front bumper and valance...

Have you tired adjusting it?
Theres a black plastic bracket attached to the wing and valance which you could move up which would bring your bumper higher and reduce the gap.

The only easy care free solution solution I see is to buy the replica at mstyle and have them fit it so if its not right they can fix it until it is if they guarantee there work. Not cheap by any mean but you get what you pay for.
that's what I intend to do with my rear bumper as its dead and buying a second hand original plus a paint job and installation wont be cheap either. As long as it fits perfect only the boys on here will know the difference : )
