   Pretty easy job, tiger seal all the way. Mite be worth getting a body shop to do it especially if you need it respraying.

   Should be straight bolt on as far as I'm aware but unless you have the kit sprayed in the right colour already then let a bodyshop put it on and bond it properly as my mate bodged a titan bodykit on his car and sprayed it himself and it looks a bag of w**k lmao
   However if I was you I would buy a Furio, VTR or VTS as they have the kit on already and there quicker than a 1.1 by miles lol

   are the arches attached to the side skirts or are they a seperate job?
