    Will this fit? (M-tech1)

    Hey guys, just looking at purchasing an M-tech 1 kit off Gumtree over here, and I just had a quick question!
    I was wanting to know if an M-tech 1 kit currently fitted to a 4 door sedan would fit my convertible? I've heard the back quarter panel is a little bit of a different length, and something about sideskirts maybe having the wrong flare on the back, but I was just wondering because these kits are pretty rare over here. Thanks r3v! :)

    I've included some photos as well if that helps.

    Front will fit, rear will fit, sides, I think they may not. The sideskirt mounting area on a cabrio is deeper, for lack of a better word to use, in comparison to the 2 and 4 door versions. The skirts will work the same on a 2 or 4 door e30 though.

      sides will definitely not fit. I am not as sure about the rear as farbin is, and I know for a fact that the end caps for the rear bumpers are different for verts, but check RealOEM.

        ^Still will fit. The trim caps might need to be bought/found/replaced, but the rear will still fit.

        Shows the rear valance works on coupe, sedan, and convertible. But, then again, it also says it works on M3.

        Endcaps show coupe/sedan, but not convertible.

            Okay so a quick update, but yes doing my due diligence on real oem, I can see that the part numbers for the 2 and 4 door models are exactly the same, but there's a completely different number for the convertible, and while they look essentially the same, there's a lot of different parts to go along with it:
