How to Install Garagistic E30 MTech 2 Side Skirts and Door Pods │Installation Instructions

[@samhulk318i]

To clarify. Would these panels need to be trimmed to fit an early model coupe? If so, which panel and how noticeable is it when trimmed and painted? I’m trying to decide what to do with my 84 diving board e30. Ideally I could find euro bumpers and do something period correct, possibly your mtech1 kit. Do you plan on eventually making an early model euro style bumper to sell? Seems like that would be a life saver for a lot of people.

How’s the fitment ? Looks good on the video

[@garagistic]

Fitment is great! We've had many customers install our full mtech 2 kit and fitment is never a complaint.

[@alleinment3761]

what modifications are needed to fit on the bigger convertible rocker panels?

[@garagistic]

Currently, we have not attempted fitting these kits on an E30 and have not heard of any customers attempting to install it on their convertible E30 so we can't say if it can or cannot be modified to fit a convertible.

Seems pretty straight forward. I see the screws hold the top of the door pod but how do you secure the bottom of the door piece?

[@garagistic]

We haven't had any issues using the supplied screws to mount the door pods using the factory clip holes as seen in the video but you can use a strip of automotive grade double sided tape to help secure the door pods. We like the brand 3M since it's very strong and a great option for these kinds of applications.

[@denguefever9489]

@@garagistic The kit is polypropylene, no tape including 3M automotive stuff will stick to it long term - I know because I had a kit made by the same manufacturer you are using and this tape didn't last, even using the appropriate adhesion promoters. Just a heads up for these PP kit items - they are almost impossible to stick to.

[@orlandocampo2499]

Interesting. I've had this kit in my shopping cart more than once ready to pull the trigger for both my E30's. Just need the shipping to be more attainable to us in Florida.

[@denguefever9489]

@@orlandocampo2499 for the US it is ideal. However where OEM kits are available (EU) they are obviously better.

[@konrad6559]

Hey can you guys do a vid on what the wheel and tire set up is on those RPF1’s?

[@garagistic]

We will definitely cover that and more about our K-Swapped E30 in a future video!

[@konrad6559]

@@garagistic I know they’re 15x8 but what mm spacers did you use for front and rear? :)

[@garagistic]

@@konrad6559 They are 15x8 +28 with 25mm spacers and the tires are 205/50 👍

Do you plan on doing a video showing the mtech 2 wing install?

[@garagistic]

Yes! We do plan on filming an installation tutorial for the Mtech 2 wing soon ⚡

[@rccekavicius5018]

Good job, guys you need to sell these kits in EU.

[@garagistic]

We do!

what are those gaps

[@garagistic]

Install was done by our professional videographer and not a professional bodywork guy 😉but the many people who have installed our kits can attest to the good fitment.

[@michaelcrawley9580]

If i came to you could you install?

[@garagistic]

We don't work on customer cars but if you're in southern California, we have some shops we can recommend!

[@sensei1781]

Seems very susceptible to rusting to me

[@garagistic]

There are only a few holes to drill and as long as you paint the holes so no metal is exposed on the body, then you should not need to worry about any rust 👍

[@michaelcrawley9580]

Also what is the material?

[@michaelcrawley9580]

Will fit 91 318i convertible?
