Cheers mate, How's the baby???

As for the skirts:
Thats what i have read and seen in the past but I was told as long as they are out of the factory tech 1 sills they flex more etc and the part number's were suposed to be the same, I think they will work fingers crossed im gonna pick the car up to night and offer them up again and double check.

Ryans fine mate,greedy little bugger though

Like you said,best bet is to offer them up again,hopefully they have some flex in!

Think tech2 skirts can be stretched to fit so should imagine these can too!

Good luck

neil, remind me and we'll take a trip to stu's brothers house and look at his tech1 cabby, just to get some ideas...

Mtech 1 saloon and cab skirts are very different indeed, the saloon skirts are much shallower in the length and the cab skirts have a greater angled centre section to clear the sills.

I've owned both sets in my time, the saloon ones were white and ended in Bury St Edmunds and the cab skirts are with Sooty now.

IIRC mtech 1 cab skirts are as rare as rocking horse poo...

HTH, Mark.

not sure, but its definately a tech 1 kit on there, so even if he didnt fit it, you'll be able to see how it went on hopefully?!

wicked mate, i can get the skirt right under the black plastic stirp on the side, so glue the strip on tight might even remove it not sure yet, and but the sill up on the side it will look alright
