Picked up my newly painted MTech body kit yesterday and fitted it today. Quite an easy install - but complicated by our local regs requiring safety chain brackets for towbars. The new bracket I got fits under the bumper but the cover that came with the MTech kit cannot be used. I'll have to get a custom made bracket if I want to use the towbar cover that came with the kit.
Reinstalling the Bel XR20 and Blinder took time too as there's a lot less room for these
