Eurostop replica M-Tech 1 rear apron. Trying one for the team

[ZM Blue Devil]

you dont need those parts, especially with a fiber glass one, there is enough rigidity without. MOUNT THAT THING. Lets see what it looks like.

PM your address and Ill send you the mtechnic sticker so it will look complete.

You are the man!

Well, as far as I can tell it mounts directly to the bumper and nothing else. I'll put a sheet-metal screw in the quarter-panel as well.
Looking at the diagram, there is a synthetic strip (#4), "foil" (#5), and bracket (#7) that I don't know about. Hopefully one of you guys that have been here before can say something about these.
Beyond the possibilities of these, I'll need to get the m-technic end pieces and also the bolts and nuts for the m-technic (for bolting the rubber strip to the bumper -- currently it uses clips).

whew you had me confused/worried for second when you said cutting the bumper.

but the bumper looks good. Does it look like you need anything else to install it? ie making/buying brackets or anything?

Oh wow. Thank you so much. That makes sense I guess.
Thank you so much man. I didn't think it looked quite right and I guess it wasn't.
I'm gonna edit my posts to remove that part to prevent confusion by others.
Thanks again man.

Stop! If I understand you correctly you are going to mount it wrong. The valance goes between the bumper and the molding on the bumper. There should be no reason to trim. Looks exactly like the real deal. I will see if I have any pics from Nina and will post up.

It looks to be exactly OEM fitment. Now this does not mean it will go right on without work.

I did hold it up to the car and it appears that it will fit perfectly. Remember the valance is unfinished and will require minimal sanding to get it perfect.

Will surely do business with these guys again.

I'm just about ready to place an order let us know how it fits.

[netcsk]

Yeah, I'll be sure to take some nice detailed ones.

[Jean]

Great, would be nice to see good / big pictures showing what it looks like out of the box :)

[netcsk]

It showed up today. Won't have a chance to get to it (it is where I work on the car) for a week and a half. I'll get some pictures up and do a quick test fit when I get it. It will be fully mounted when I get the car painted in a few weeks.

no---nooo....
so, is the next one going in w/safety chains...or at least 1 drop of super-glue


my rear apron is on w/the original 10mm bolts and 2 truck-camper clamps under the rear end, its no-going-no-where-no-time...but its not any mtech (1 or 2) although i wish it was.

do we have any pix on the current apron at hand. (on the car)

currently it's stock, it pissed me off at first but I got over it. I liked it but at the same time it kinda made it look like it was wearing a diaper.. like those E36 bumpers people try to run.

my mtech2 rear apron literally snapped in place, all I had to do was prep it for paint. then it fell off on the freeway on my way to work, doh! oh well. :p

From what I read you need the front metal euro valance .

[netcsk]

Got an email saying that it shipped. I'll let you guys know in a couple weeks how it looks (its not coming here, its going to where I work on my car).
