Ebay Bits, Body and FMIC
« on: 02 April 2010, 20:48 »
Hi Guys,

As I often start my threads this I'm sure has been covered before but I've searched with little to no luck:

I've looked at the R32 kits and or Anni on eBay but they are cheap and Im unsure what to buy, whats the differance between Fibre Glass and whatever the other is....

FMICs? there are a few on there and wondered what you're thoughts were.


Cheers

don't think that ABS parts will fit perfectly unless they are OEM though, a lot of people have had to adjust replica R32 bumpers to get them to fit

Had one, sold it as I couldn't be arsed to cut the front bumper about to get it to fit. If you get an R32 front it will prob be better though

This one is a bit cheaper...
