Mtec 2 rear skirt won,t fit??

[billyboy193]

Just bought an Mtec 2 rear skirt and the bugger wont fit (after taking the bumper off lol)

The car is 1989 cabriolet no chrome on the bumper at all and has the black trim

This is the car as advertised on e-bay

Can anyone tell me what rear skirt I can get to fit this and what the hell is the front skirt?

Thanks[/img]

Ok F**k it looks like I bought a Mk1 instead of the mk2 rear skirt just re-read the ad and it says will fit the chrome bumper models

cant help you on the fitting part.

but I think the car is a old skool metal bumper by the looks of it.

I agree with that, so as far as i know both style bumpers will fit it!?
Ive never done it myself but this picture shows a Mk1 with Mtec 2 if your rear lights are the same youve got a Mk1 so both should fit if not the Mtech 1 wont fit. Hope that helps

The holes all line up but on my bumper at the ends of it they have black sort of "end" mouldings once the black rubber has been removed the skirt will fit on ok but once on the end mouldings can,t be put into place - I guess i could make them fit but just wondered why they would,nt

I thought the M Tec II rear bumper had to be modified to fit the pre-facelifts?

Don't know how though, lots of people on here have done it though I think.....DemonDaz springs to mind...

[billyboy193]

Zayyan I just have the rear valance i wanted to keep the bumpers I have just add the rear valance to tidy the rear end up a bit as it looks weird with side skirts and no rear valance maybe its gonna be a weekend of fitting?

Sorry, I have only fitted the front so far, the rest of the kit is standard.
I have tried to offer up my rear valence to the back of the car and it definately will need some cutting.

I can't do that at the moment, as the missus is too peaved with me for just trying to keep it running/

lol right gonna get this bugger to fit over the next few days whilst trying not to annoy the g/f and the kids - let you know if its worth the hassle!

[billyboy193]

Well its a no go the mtec will not fit so back to the bloody drawing board anyone got any ideas what would fit?

[fowler]

Hello gentlemen I have the same problem.
This is the situation
what has happened on the 1989 cabrolet you have a early rear end and a late front end so what you need to do is get mtech 1 kit for the rear bumper and Mtech 2 for the front pain in the arse i know
from the pic mine is white aswell just colourcode the bottom sills looks the tits fell free pm for more info
