mtech 1 was made for the pre-face lift (i.e. metal bumper and small rear lights) and the m tech 2 was made for the face lift or plastic bumper model.

and just incase youre thinking of fitting one the rear valance is the only part that doesnt fit both pre and post face lift as the rear arch profiles are different between the metal and plastic bumper models.

Tech ones look better though, rarer too and not just because they are older and more have been scrapped
