If its the ebay/purple kit seen about on net, I've got the front bumper and ricardoswarez has the whole kit, we both have no problems with the kit itself, just don't have it posted from what I hear

Ye thats them off eBay, based in Birmingham.
The kit on the yellow one on the front page looks to have a spillter that goes on existing bumper and the spoiler looks weird

try a search on this mate, its been asked a few times before. quality has been questioned down to no mounts or something. maunly i think its the delivery thats a prob not sure as i don't have one lol
They have no mounts on any of the kit, so you need to take your kit to a specialist fibreglasser or a bodyshop with a good reputation for body kit fitting to get a factory fit and one that will actually stay on the car whilst in motion lol! ( sorry ricardo )
The fibreglass is ultra thin and although thickness is not the issue with how strong fibreglass can be there's is just too thin and can be very brittle. They moulding work isn't the best so I would highly advice getting the kit re-inforced prior to fitting.

lol that hurt kev
ye the kit is quite thin, but mine feels realy rigid, and strong, the moulding itself on mine is good aswell, with fitting, the front bumper can be done on your own, you just drill two holes were the normal bumper has holes to screw into the arch (these holes are marked on the kit) then you fit it, and drill into the cross member and screw it in there, (thats what the fitter didnt do on mine and so it came off)
the rear bumper-theres two options, you can get your original bumper and cut out the recesed strip along it, (the bit that from the outside is a long strip that goes the length of the bumper, just below teh top) this has the mounts on that the kit doenst, so you then fiberglass that section to the inside of you kit, and then you have all the nescerary mounts,
the other option is- on the rear of the car, theres a lip, and then under theres a larg metal frame that goes across the rear of the car, you can get some metal and fill the first lip, braize/weld/fiberglass it into posistion, then fit the bumper, and drill through the bumper and first lip into the second, then screw the bumper in under the wings, fit screws into the holes you have just drilled, and if you can get nuts on the underside of the second lip you drilled through in order to make them secure,
the major problem with the kit was the delivery, as they couldnt be arsed with packaging properly, so i'd say go and collect, and then you can also see any issues with quality, and if there are some, you can say you think its to thin, or bad quality, and they can either sort it or you can walk away, then you wont make a loss

just get the back bumper from bad boy styling, or do as someone else did on here (cant remember his name) get a splitter and fibre glass it onto your back bumper
