the cabrio sills are bigger than other e30. Basically the side skirts are cabrio specific. The door pods you can use from a coupe.

They are unique to Cabs., no idea how much the Hartge's are worth.

With your cab being an 88 model it will be pre facelift (metal bumpers) so fitting a tech 2 kit (designed for a facelift car) will require quite a bit of work for starters. Fiting a kit designed for a coupe even more so.

The last set of Hartge cab skirts I saw for sale was about 2 years ago on here by a zoner AliFerrari and he couldnt shift them. He was asking £100.

Fitting the MT2 to a pre-facelift is that too much of an issue, if you can make the bumper carriers for the front, use the facelift valance etc. The main issue is the rear bumper/valance wheel arches (they don't sit correctly as the facelift cars have a different radius). Also it looks out of place with the thin tail lights.

The biggest problem I can see is finding cab side skirts.

Adapting coupe or what have you skideskirts is a lot work. Not to mention that it requires cutting the sideskirt and then using fiberglass and bondo to patch back up and henceforth the sill rusting away under the botch job. Or use polyurethane sealant to bond it to the body.
