I think you need this site with kits like that.....http://www.barryboys.co.uk

they are quite individual tho.....and each to their own I believe (just not my style front or back)

i like the rear more than the front.. altho on the rear is the splitter merged in with the bumper? im not down with the lingo, but i think i'd prefer it without a blended/merged splitter

lol hehehe :wink: it works tho, really does, the amount of people that stop me when im out its mad!, had some dude in a mk 1 cabrio running D90's pull up next to me at the lights on saturday afternoon saying he loved the way it looked, OE but with a twist..basically not no over kill, i personally like the mk 3 in standard form anyhow...they look good even with just a good drop in my opinion

All that has been said I agree - body kits can look sooo chad and if they're not fitted right too look even more pants + like boneybradley you find ya motor posted on BarryBoys web site - and that ain't a good thing.

Like kells says keep it standard but with a twist to make it "yours" or go the Q car route - looks like a 1.4, badged as 1.4, on steel rims BUT slightly lowered, uprated brakes, with a 1.8T engine or VR6 hiding under the bonnet  :evil:

Then go out and scare some Scoobies  :wink:

I don't get the appeal? Why but big bulbus rounded bumpers onto an otherwise straigt edged, angled body panel car?? :undecided:

Couldn't look more out of place if you tried?

That pic you posted isn't a Vento front end either? Just as well though as I think they look pretty awful! :sick:

As said, just concentrate on making the car as tidy as possible? Lowered, nice wheels, & very very clean! :wink:
