    Where to buy MTech 1 Valence?

    Do they still make this valence or do they come up for sale very often?

    I am assuming this is a no no.


    Fitment is paramount for my application. Thanks for any help.

    It's no longer made. Your best bet is ebay or waiting for one to pop up on the forums

      Since you're new - NLA is a common acronym for "No Longer Available", or parts that are out of production.

        Re:

        There's a knockoff listed on ebay. No clue on the quality. Good luck.

          Hmm, eBay over the one in the link I provided? Being that the website I showed sells a lot of e30 parts, I thought maybe someone had experience with this exact valence.

          Thanks, I am newish to the e30 platform, but not BMW. I didn't know this valence was NLA.

          I just can't trust a Chinese made replica from eBay. Especially without some kind of endorsement from someone on here.

                yeah don't waste time on replicas. as somebody else pointed out, aside from the fact that you will spend as much as the replica cost to make it fit correctly - it will be worth nothing in the resale market, while a real Mtech kit will always be worth at least as much, if not more than what you originally paid.

                  Agree, I don't like messing around with replicas unless they are proven. I will be doing all fitting myself, but at the same time, most replicas are just not worth it.

                  Does anyone have experience with the products I linked to? Thanks.

                    I think I am going to hold out for authentic. Thanks for all of the help.

                      Search e30 forums in UK. Plenty there.

                      bought this ones years ago, bundle 2 kits in 1 box, 2nd kit made shipping expense very affordable.

                      checkout the ultra rear reflectors that came with startec's tail lights

                        I have seen many replica body kits and lips that fit well. Its all about the material. If its fiberglass, yes you are right its realy hard to find that has good fitment. No need to mention that I hate fiberglass, overpriced, fits like shit and they cracks easily but if you can find polyurethane made product, they usually have perfect fitment, machined made not hand made like fiberglass. My overal suggestion is to stay away from fiberglass. Unless you put it on your car and see the fitment first.

                          I agree. I did my time with fiberglass bodykits when I was younger. I have no interest in going that route again.

                            There's a seller on here from overseas "sskoda" or something close to that who sells quite a few of mtech kits, I would reach out to him and see if he has anything right now!
