Another Cab Q for you guys, (apologies if previously posted) but will just the front and rear valance/spoiler of an M-Tec II from a coupe fit the Cabriolet?
Thanks

Yeah it does, if the cabrio is facelift.

If it's pre-facelift it'll still go on but it'll be more difficult, you'll have to modify the bumper.

The spoiler will go on too but you don't want to do that, it'll look silly.

Not necessarily, here's a pre-facelift:

Ok confused then. This particular cab has your red cab bodykit, i.e non chrome, but has the pre facelift lights...

Retro fit?

Thoughts..

Does the car have the big reverse lights or the smaller ones?

Why thank you Lee :wink:

Geoff do you have any pics of your car?

You could just have painted chrome bumpers like a few late pre-facelift cabs.

Either way with the pre-facelift rear lights the M Tech rear bumper will be a big hassle to fit on due to the rear arches being a different shape.

I'm almost 100% that the front end will go on without a problem though :thumb:

The reserve lights are the vertical lights top to bottom. Heres a couple of pics of the car in Q.

Pre-facelift with post-facelift bumpers
