bravo 35 Report post Posted August 4, 2007 Its tech II for pre f/l cars. If its built properly and fits properly and has a good finish, then go for it. It appears he is importing it. Possibly he isn't going to have it shipped till it sells - may have to wait. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As the pic is tech II on a pre fl and I didn't notice 'till now the '84-'91 remarks. Fibreglass is generally less flexible than plastic, but often less expensive.

parriehunter 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2007 Fibreglass is generally less flexible than plastic, but often less expensive. Oh ok, so does that mean it is more likely to crack than plastic? Harder to fit? i have emailed to actual supplier of the kit so will be interesting to see what the difference in price will be. Also they are manufactured in Hong Kong dont know if that makes a difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted August 5, 2007 Depending on damage, fibreglass is often cheaper to fix, but easier to break. Plastic will bend alot before it breaks and can be plastic welded in many cases. Fibreglass is cheaper and easier to produce which is why most cheaper bodykits are made from it. All the BMW factory versions are plastic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parriehunter 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) Well he quoted me $850 for the front bumper/spoiler, side skirts and rear spoiler. but the prices seem to be varying quite abit between questions. Is this a reasonable price or expensive? Edited August 7, 2007 by parriehunter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this a reasonable price or expensive? Considering you can get genuine Tech2 kits used for $1000, I think they could be cheaper. You get your price from Exporters?

bravo 35 Report post Posted August 7, 2007 Considering you can get genuine Tech2 kits used for $1000 Although they are going up. $1200+ is not unheard of and we are not talking mint condition either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parriehunter 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2007 Hey just got an email from the Hong Kong manufacturer.From what i could gather from the poor english is that it would be about $1550 - a 10% discount for some reason so about $1400 including delivery for the full kit. Which is what the guy on trade me is selling the full four door kit for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
