Title: Whats ur opinion?
Post by: jonesltd on 25 August 2009, 10:29

Aint got a huge budget £200 but want a r32 front bumper and side skirts...loctaed a guy in brummie land but was honest and said;

HI THIS BODY KIT FITTING IS SAME LIKE ORIGINAL CAR BUMPERS. BUT IT DOES NOT COME WITH ANY BRACKETS SCREWS OR FIXINGS, THE QUALITY IS OK I DONT KNOW MATE WHAT ARE YOU EXPACKTING IN £190, BUT IF YOU WANT BUY PERFECT GOOD QUALITY KIT SO BETTER YOU GO TO V/W DEALER & BUY ORIGINAL PLASTIC BODY KIT FROM THEM THANKS,

All I dont want is that if I go down motorway it crack as I know they aint that flexible as real ones??? :undecided:

As it aint as flexible or as flexible..is it likely to crack on the motorway cos of lack of movement?

The problem isn't its flexibility, its weather or not it will fit properly / sit flush / look any good.

Should someone go into the back of you it will snap into a million pieces, but thats going to be the least of worries id have thought.

Is it fitted to a car already? Looking at it in a box isnt going to tell you if it will fit on the car nicely :undecided:

TBH most of them fit "reasonably" well and it might not sit flush but we are taking mm here.

The worst thing with fibreglass kits is some take a lot of work to get them fitting all ok and looking right.
