Hi , just looking at a 90 on the h cab as a project ,hence the rear window questions :D i also wondered about the frt panel , it seems to be a facelift car with painted bumpers etc but the fogs do not look like face lift saloon ones ,more like the early saloon ones ,it also has a black screw on lip spoiler ,could you fit an IS lip type one instead ? and last but not least can you fit the black number plate backing panel between the rear lamps from a facelift saloon onto the cab ?

cheers ,paul.

Probably all 'no's - cabs were facelifted at a different time to the saloons, & some came with painted metal bumpers (as in pre-facelift rather than plastic post-facelift ones) - this one sounds very much like one of those...
You'd have to fit a post-facelift front valance to fit the iS lip (there are better options than the stock front lip for pre-facelift valances though!), & the rear trim'd be different too - but there is an alternative one for pre-facelift cars ( I think Eko's got one if you do a bit of a search!) :cool:

One like mine... (see my sig or the photo gallery section) or the Zender one I'm gonna get round to fitting eventually! Or Hartge, Alpina, Mtech-1... :)

Thanksfully someone had the good sense to paint over the chrome wrongness, same as my cab.

Tech 1 looks great, that's what I'd like. I just don't like it without side skirts.
