Anyone ever put an mTech 1 kit on a touring?
Just curious as to wether its possible- surely the side skirts would need to be made longer?
I think it would look :cool:

Tourings and saloons have exactly the same floorpan. The problems you would incur are exactly the same as trying to put a mTech ! kit on a post facelift four door saloon - mainly around the rear wheel arches, because of the change of shape, pre to post facelift.

Ahh i see, would you almost have to cut the rear valance off and weld on a pre-face one?
Not quite sure why I’m asking this, just curious. Don’t think Santa will have the strength to shove a Tech 1 kit down the chimney lol
