replica m-technic kit

[john-rambo]

has any1 had any experience fitting a copy fiberglass m tech kit? are they really such a bad fit i remember fitting a replica rs turbo kit 2 my escort(r.i.p) and that was only the skirts and arches they took a while but in the end fitted ok! its just the copy bumpers im worried about fitting! what r ur veiws?

[nav786]

from what i have heard of them they are very poor. dont fit well at all. best bet is to pick up a second hand original kit.

Oh rite cheers mate that seems to be evry1s opinion at th mo how much is it going to cost for a genuine kit roughly?

You didn't say if its a MTEC I or MTEC II kit you're after, but if its any help there's an MTEC I kit on ebay at the moment.

Having said that I thought the MTEC I kits came with complete bumpers, not just the lower valences (???) as advertised.

Maybe another zoner can advise but I've just bought an MTEC I kit and it came with complete bumpers.

Hope this is of some help

Oh yeah, definitely buy a genuine second hand kit, not an after market one .

Ive got a fibre glass kit for mine. overall quality, i think, is very good. its not yet fitted. it does look a game and a half to fit, but we'll see.

[john-rambo]

send a reply and let me no how u got on

[dazleeds]

i sold mine as it did look a bit too much effort considering how easy the genuine kit is to fit better to save and get qa proper one unless you know someone whos really sh*t hot woth fibreglass Daz leeds

note to luxdrop. was it you i sold the kit too mate??

hows it going? did you use my idea with the bumer bars and tops etc??

[john-rambo]

with the glass fiber bumpers do u get all the fixing brackets or is it just one big bodge?

[dazleeds]

didnt have any fixings at all with mine all do it yourself
had some weird ideas for fixing mine but none were easy so didnt bother

thats prettey poor init so its a job for the stikaflex man eh? the kits sound like a bit of a rip off!?

[1993luxdrop]

yeah its me alright daz, ive primed the kit but not yet fitted it. but i'll do as you suggested and use the existing bumper as a mounting point. im debating weather or not to use the door 'pods' or just the lower skirts.

[dazleeds]

i was the same def wasnt gonna use the pods they just didnt look as good as the originals
it seems the best way me stepdad could come up with and hes a top man when it comes to fibreglass hes done it all he looked and said to use the bumper inserts as it needed the strength plus it gives you a solid fixing best of luck mate hope you get it on nice cheers Daz
