      Sadly, mt2 won'the fit properly on your vert. The wheel arch on the qtr panel and front lower valance are different. Going mt1 will also require mt1 compatible front lower valance.

          M tech 1 is designed for early, non US spec cars, m tech 2 is designed for later facelift models US or Euro. Unfortunately, your car is neither of these. A conversion will need to be done either way so go with which ever you like best.

                search "mtech1 vert". you'll find actunge30's S52 MT1 convertible.


                an mtech1 front apron will fit a DB vert fine. they're hard to find and expensive though.
                mtech1 side skirts are absolutely impossible to find. I've only seen them on Frank's car.

                as Barry (reelzimpro) mentioned MT2 won't work on a DB car.

                you can facelift a DB vert with plastics. all bolt on. see my sig for a thread and pics.

                my vert build thread has a boatload of research on it including MT1 stuff.
                I BUY/SELL REFURBISHED CM5907s & CM5908s

                HOWTOs:
                DB vert plastic bumpers
                OEM Keys
                MTech1 docs

                88 ix Lach/Card
                91 ic Calypso 3.1
                86 Cosmo 2.7

                OEM+ or bust!
