I am wondering if any one knows the ins and outs of bodykits and pre versus post facelift fitting?

every day i see the tec 1 i like it more and more so instead of selling it i think i will attempt to fit it?

thing is i know there are issues to be considered

1)the rear will not match up on my post facelift arches as they are different to tec1/pre facelift arches to accomodate more leg room. what are my options hee do you think?

2)how do i go about fitting the tec 1 setup on the front - do i need to get a prefacelift front panel and bumper mounts so i can attach it and will brake duct cooling still work out.?

i know the skirts and spoiler are childs play its just the ins and outs of the front and rear tec1 kit i am unsure of so any sagely advice greatly accepoted as i really like this kit and woul love to have it on my motor specialy unusual it would be to see galcier blue tec 1...

thanks

I am really sorry for bumping this but after exhausting the search facility i find questions about people fitting tec 2 to pre facelift - where as my question is about fitting a tec 1 to a post facelift? can anyone help?

if you have a plastic bumper car it wont work
because the kit hangs from the chrome bumpers.

if you have a plastic bumper car and want the chrome bumpers then I think it can be done
with a little fab work for the mounts

I dont mind taking bumper an all as there is no chrome visable - no way of knowing for sure untill i at least offer it up to the car i guess.
