Body Kits

9th April 2006, 23:35

Just wonderin how difficult a body kit is to fit yourself? Im probably goin for the full shebang, i jus wasnt sure if online guides justified how easy/difficult it reli is. Meshed my grill the otha day, haynes guide made it look quite simple. I on the other hand, spent HOURS swearin at da stupid thing cos it wudnt fit

also, if anyone can recommend any good sites that sell the kits, would be very handy thanks

I would imagine its quite hard so I wouldnt advise that you tried it yourself unless you fancy yourself as a bit of a handy man....

Theres a good selection of body kits on the 'styling' section of this site...

its not that hard if you handy with fibre glass...

i fitted my front bumper and my rear bumper...

took bout 4 hours to fit the front bumper as it was inatially to wide but i made it fit and i had to build the mounts from scratch...

the rear bumper was alot easier and only took me 2 hours

fitting each kit is different and you will have to do some trimming and re-shaping as its made from fibre glass and will not fit exact without some work....

there will also be some imperfection that will have to be filled with body filler....

look in the styling section as theres plenty of kits in there, also ebay normally have body kits on there...

okidoke ill probs just get it fitted by someone who knows what they are doing, a lot safer lol. How much would fitting cost roughly, not including being sprayed the right colour cos i can get that doe free, my uncle does it for a living
