tech kit

can anyone tell me what the difference is between the tech 1 and tech 2 kit?

Just have a look in the photo gallery section... it's pretty obvious!

Right basically, tech 1 kit fits a metal bumper car, whereas the tech 2 kit will fit the later plastic bumper version.

Tech1 kit consists of 1 piece front spoiler, 1 piece side skits, 1 piece rear apron, and a 2 piece boot spoiler. The kit also requires replacement bumper endcaps and rubber bump strips for the back, and different bumper trim for the front (although you can use the standard items up front). There are various other specific parts which come in a 'complete' kit such as tow eye extensions but the basics necessities are covered above.

The Tech 2 kit consists of a one piece rear apron, a specific front bumper, with separate lower spoiler. It also has much more complicated sideskirts, which consist of skirts which attach the the sill, with three (four if a 4dr) pods which are attached to the side of the car (on each side), above the sill skirts. Tech 2 kit also has a boot spoiler, which in my opinion, looks shit.

Hope this helps

Meh, he's right though. & it's not opinion; I agree with it so it's fact.

Tech-1 or a colour coded lip look good on the right car, but no spoiler's usually the way forward!

I'm shocked - seeing as I've done both of those things to my car, I'd never have expected you to do the same...

(actually, they're zender skirts that I've just fitted, but the point remains! :lol:

Zender mate, along with the Zender skirts... I've got the front in the garage, but I've not decided whether to fit it yet. I'll get some better pics up when I get the splitties on!

I love the zender stuff, but I can see why you'd want all your kit to be the same on your motah... gonna be v.cool btw!

$hitloads tbh. The profile where they come up at the ends (just like tech-1 skirts) was all wrong for a cab. Decided they'd never look right, so I lopped those bits off - sounds simple, but it took a while!

so basically the tech 1 kit is the bumpers etc that have loads of parts to them, and the tech 2 bumpers are one piece, but do the tech 2's mount exactly the same?
