W12 Body Kits

It sounds as if your mind is made up.

Pointless in my opinion, but each to their own.

You're terminology tells me you have no experience of how hard it is to get bodywork to look right on a car.  that company will tell you anything to get another kit sold, what do they care, they dont have to come over and fit it.
they will tell you a "mechanic" can fit the body kit, what they dont tell you is the hours and hours a bodyshop will take blending in the seams and making it look right before painting.  this isn't cheap.

another thing is, your insurance will go up, as its a modification and if you have an accident, it will be much more expensive to repair properly.

you'll get bored of it after a few months and wonder why you wreaked your car.

Very good point, I have had experence of Rieger kits, some of them took 2 1/2 weeks to fit to a standard that was good enough to paint.

Spend the money ondropping it and some sick wide rims.

I'm not particularly interested in speed, more looks at the minute, the thing about this mod is that its very rare, I've emailed them to see how many are in the UK to see but I imagine its a handful.

It also comes with an exhaust upgrade and an option to have it chipped there too.

This costumes the human equivalent, would you wear it because its rare

I'd wear the storm trooper outfit, I wouldn't drive a car with that kit on it.
Looks like an expensive job to fit..so don't use cowboys to do the bodywork if you really must go for it. And those wheels are on massive spacers (W12 had custom wide rims) so it looks kinda silly from the rear with the skinny tyres. Maybe some porsche rims on there. It's still fast looks on a slow car though.. and it wont add more than 1 or 2 grand to the value imo.

It might add £1K  to the value of your vehicle but you will make it unsaleable to 90% of the population...

15K for insurance on an Ed 30... what did you do?
