There is a lot of work involved in fitting a Mtech II kit to that cab, you will need to change the front valance / fog light panel

The pre facelift cars have a slightly different shape rear arch, so the body kit / rear bumper will need some work too...

plus you need to modify the saloon side sill to fit the cab

Not any easy job, but it has been done more than once on here!

yes the car is pre facelift.

Mtech 1 will fit, although finding Mtech 1 side sills will be a challenge...

idiots way - preface lift is chrome bumpers, facelift is plastic

but there are loads of other bits like rear lights and front fogs etc.

cabs are something else though...!

never had a convertible, always wanted an e30, but love the mtec II kit too much to purchase one that wouldnt allow it.
