I guess it's up to you.  It is cheap for what it is, but I don't really like that website myself.

I'd worry too much what the quality of the parts will be like when they arrive.

Thats true, that site doesnt stock too many brand names either, ive always stuck to the saying "If you buy cheap, you buy twice" so i think ill pass lol, i can get a genuine R-line front and rear bumper from Awesome Gti for £760 quid anyway  :drool:

Well.. ive never bought anything fiberglass before but looks good, i still need to get it painted and go from there. I just hope it looks good painted (a professional is painting) do you think that people could tell that its fiberglass once fitted?

Looks pretty decent TBH. Isnt fibreglass really light too? It would be usefull in shedding a few extra pounds off a Fat MK4 lol, my mates has a Fibreglass bodykit on his *cough* Corsa, but its starting to fall to bits now and is being held together with peices of string and nails lol

Yes mate it is pretty light, how long has your mate had his kit on for?
