[Japandrew73]

Please PM me with pictures and a price if you have one in any condition at all. Thanks

I dont think that is every going to happen, Unless for some reason your get SUPER lucky.
I dont see that happening either. I talked to a few people on Ebay.de no one wanted to ship them because of the size and price.
Best bet here is to just buy the replica from Ary.

Ill keep an eye out, they pop up every once in a while... Took me a while but I found one for Nina.

[Japandrew73]

Thank you! Please do keep an eye out. Your car is beautiful! but your headlight wipers are backwards :D

What fog lights fit this ive just got one?

[Japandrew73]

m3 or euro fogs fit it.


andrew why no replicas?


ther not always bad if done right.

Just because originality is the overall theme of my car, getting replicas kind of go against it's whole theme.

[lifeiskaos]

oh hell yes. this makes me very happy. i will also keep an eye out for you!

Yes but the car didnt come with mtech 1 originally, nor did mtech1s come with m10s to my knowledge.

Im not saying dont look for one, in fact i know someone who has one. But i wouldnt cross replicas off the list completely

[Japandrew73]

any chance you could PM me with details about the guy you know stephen? i know m10s didnt come with tech 1 kits, however its OEM and they were available for any car by order from factory. the m10 isnt permeanent. i need to work on a lot more before im happy enough with my car to wait the tine to save up for an s14. an s14 is the eventual plan. i dont feel comfortable having an M logo on my car or M stripes without an M engine and the s14 is my choice due to its history. this is a long way off though... in the meantime, i have no problem sporting Mtech kitted items, theres a fine difference between an M badge and an MTech kit in my opinion.

definetly hold out for a original, I held out for years for a original Alpina and am very happy for waiting.

how do you remove the front bumper? and how do you remove the Mtech I airdam?

I know of a complete tech I kit for sale here in germany, i'll see if it's still availible. i don't know how it would be shipped though...

The front bumper is held on by two nuts in the front and one screw on each side (going into the fender). The air dam should remove with the bumper and can then be removed from the bumper by a number of bolts/nuts. It will be very evident once the bumper is off the car.

@andrew
If a real one is in your budget and you do not mind waiting, go for it.
The replica back is not bad at all.
However, the front replica that I have came with real fitment issues. It took significant work to get it to fit "ok". It came warped and I suspect the mold was made minus the euro bumper so the mounting tabs do not line up with the bumper well. As fiberglass is not very flexible, this caused some pretty bad cracks in the piece in order for it to fit.
I am happy with mine now, but I would have a hard time recommending the front replica.
