These types of kits have been talked abut a few times on here.  you get what you pay for.  One of them will probably work, but will fit badly, so you're going to be hacking away to get it on properly.

one guy over on ukmkivs has got a group buy going on with these ebay specails said they work and fit well, but as bob said you get what you pay for id rather spend a bit more money just to have the peace of mind that i got a good bit of kit like a Forge  :wink: but thats just me
