M Tech 2 Kit to pre facelift model convertible

[johnt0709]

I want to fit a M Tech 2 kit to my 1989 convertible - problem is that it is pre facelift with the metal bumpers - I have seen these fitted - what is the best way forward? Also read some horror stories regarding the side skirts.

yeah its possible, Ull need to change bumper mounts etc but they just bolt on i think and ur need to put a slit in the side skirts, Have a word with dips346 he is the guy to talk to

This does not cover the side skirts (which i personally think are minging anyway ) but if you must then the cabs have wider cills than the coupe, so the lower side skirts need a bit of cutting and a few additional brackets on them to make them sit flush, unless you have the tech 2 kit off of a cab.

not so easy in your mums garage, not too hard with the help of a body shop

Thanks Guys - checked out the site - you need to cut the plastic bumpers down - wondering if it will be an easier option to buy an aftermarket mtech 2 kit specifically for the convertible/chrome bumper? Dont fancy the prices for the genuine kit and then having to cut they bumpers down? Help...
