    Fitting M tech 2 kit on preface lift car

    I an thinking about dumping my project and starting over in a nice shell. I have found one, but it is a pre facelift shell. Which I kind of like more with the tail lights, and the rear fenders. The thing is I have OEM Mtech Front and sides. Those should bolt up no problem correct if I swap the front valence right? For the rear I have a euro style rep rear lip, and a iem plastic bumper. I have to trim the ends to fit on the prefacelift one, correct. The plastic bumpers are too long, and will fit in to the wheel well. I am just making sure, I am pretty sure I know, but dont want to get my self into something I cant handle.

    Just making sure, the only major modification will be on the rear bumper and lip, one the wheel well, correct?

      I fitted genuine M-tech2 kit to my pre-facelift cabrio last winter. The rear bumper is too long, so one option is to shorten it.

      I chose to change the rear panel and rear light surroundings to get big tail lights to fit. This way i didn't have to modify the bumper.

        I was thinking of that. Do you have any pics? The rear panel is which piece?

          Here're quite a feq pics of my project. http://users.tkk.fi/~jhaukile/Projekti.html

          Check the "22-9-2007" - line.

          The part you need to change is #2 here:


          You also need to modify parts #20 to make facelift lamps to fit, otherwise it'll look stupid :)

              Mate If You're Saying The Rear Bumper Is Long , That Means Your Car Is 1982 - 1987 Pre-Face lift .
              You Can Go to A Fiber Glass Workshop and Cut It A Bit and Then Join It Back to Fit your Car Boot .
              Otherwise It Won't Install .
