    WTB: MTech 1 complete kit...

    I know they are pricey and hard to find, but i'd rather do this than spend 500 for plastic bumpers that i will be forced to modify...

      Well, you are looking at $800+ for a new set of front and rear euro bumpers to start with.

      Then, front and rear valances and sides :)

          I think you can still get all the pieces brand new from the dealer. They aren't that much more than used, anyway.

            i was under the impression that mtech2 was available, not the mtech1? I also read something about 2400 new from dealer... that's a lot more than i am seeing them used for, including shipping from the UK...

              That's not that much for a full kit. You'll pay up there for a used one, and if price doesn't matter... :)
              New bumpers are ~$100 a piece if I remember correctly, and they are 3 pieces each. Its hard to find good condition used bumpers (I had to do a bit of work to mine when I got them).
              I'm not sure if the full kit is available, but I know a lot of it is.

              I haven't been able to find a rear apron or side skirts since I've had my bumpers. Who are you talking to in the uk? I'm not finding them on ebay uk.

                Euro bumpers alone are over 900 for all new pieces (everything included front and rear) and the mtech 1 front is NLA... I tried to order one yesterday. (i work at a dealer too.)

                  Bumpers cost like 860 from bav auto w/ free shipping, and that's with all the m-tech 1 specific moldings, which are not that much more expensive. Good luck finding a complete m-tech 1 kit. Expect to spend 700-900 on the kit depending on quality - if you can find on that is.

                    Isn't there an aftermarket m-tech1 replica front/rear valance available still available though ?

                      i found a good mtech kit for about 900, actually, but now i need to find the euro bumpers...

                      I'm really a noob about this shit... so can someone please tell me what the hell EUROBUMPERS actually are... I assume i would paint them body color, i don't want chrome...

                        Look in the members section, they are chrome bumpers that fit the m-tech 1 front/rear valances. You might be better off buying them new with all the correct and complete mounting hardware as people already mentioned it on this thread.
