Is there an order to follow when fitting the kit? My car is getting painted next week and I don't think the guy has fitted one before.
Are the fixings still available from BMW?
As mine is a cab I will need to "stretch" the sills to fit? is there a certain technique involved in this?

Thanks in advance :thumb:

Hi Graham, By the looks of the picture you car has metal bumpers which means it will need the mtech 1 kit for a proper fit. In response to you questions, no there isn't really a best order to do the fitting, i personally did the rear first, then the front and finally the sideskirts. Yes all the parts are still available from BMW, though not all of them are necessary by any means. I don't know the process for attaching the sideskirts to a cab, but the definately will need modifying to fit.

By the way did you want to contact me, I saw that you left a comment on a thread, but you never followed it up, i assumed from your thread selling your bbs wheels that you had sorted a set of alpinas other than mine, is this correct?

Ok mate, my advice is totally useless in which case! Sorry about the delay with the wheels - had my uni exams, plus delays with the refurb people, plus i was in greece for two weeks, really wasn't a good time to be selling wheels, apologies for mucking you about.
