Do you mean entire kit? Confused as if its a motorsport you will have a tech 2 kit? or do you mean spoiler?

Tech 1 side skirts are a bitch to do im still working on mine, I like the tech one front and rear witht he tech 2 side's/ pods.

I also like the chrome with the kit winkeye

i would have to say tech 1

just looks more aggresive than the tech2 imo

guess its down to what look ur after

motorsport only came with a tech 2 as far as i know??

could be wrong tho

i think youd definatly improve the look with a tech2
and it wont spoil the originality one bit :cool:

Tech 1 all the way - thats said, a tech 2 touring is enough to get many E30 fans moist.

BTW - A motorsport could have a tech1 kit or tech 2 kit, depending on age - quality cars regardless of kit.

tech 2 front and rear spoiler/bumpers only, ditch the plastic slabs that are on the doors and not a fan of the rear tech 2 spoiler, if you must run a spoiler then a smaller standard spoiler on or at worst a tech 1.

2 door = Tech 1 Rightness 8) (Damn it, quick reply doesn't have the dribbling emoticon winkeye )

I do prefer Tech 2 on the cab's though

Can't remember seeing any tech 1 tourings....anyone got some pic's of one :?:

Yeah tec 2 on a cab looks better possibly but a black 325 tec1 with alpinas is the ultimate in my opinion! 8)

Tech 2 every time, more refinement than tech 1 IMO. Not quite so stylised by the 80's!!

I'm biased but i like the Tech 1 on the cab. Tech 2 looks more "luxury/civilsed", but tech 1 seems more racey... in my opinion anyway :D

I think if you have early cab then tech 1, late cab tech 2 kit.
Mix and match can look abit odd sometimes in my opinion.

Tech 1 is still the don though

Ive seen both going around.

Perhaps some are copy's?

Do like the look without chrome, not as smooth as tech II tho.
