    Been offered the body kit off this...





    For £100. Is that a good deal for what it is? I quite like it, still not 100% sure on the rear bumper though. Want to change the flatarch into something nicer. Honest opinions appreciated lol
    Will be going on my mk1 flatty.

    that will take some serious work to get it on a flatty. holes drilled/rear arches cut away etc

    love the rear bumper, its demon rear i think.
    dunno if its worth £100 tho as is alot of work to put vtr kit on flatty. but if u think its worth it go for it

    just pick up a cheap vt kit mate, tbh IMO bodykits don't look good anymore.. keep it standard and fresh

    tbh dont listen to what people say, do what you want, its your car at the end of the day, we all have different opinions, your the one who has to drive it so do it how you like it

    he wouldn't have made a thread if he didnt want to hear what people think though?
    therefore, i speak on behalf of the majority of the sax-p community when i say... dont do it.

    ooooo my car lol, im the one thats offered it to him for 100 purely because this is how i price it

    front bumper with fogs £35
    archs £10 each
    rear bumper £25

    thats £100 for that lot and i said id include the door trims and sideskirts for free, so good deal if u ask me , anyone else want any other parts off that car? shes getting stripped to a bare shell and scrapped

    I agree it's a good deal just needed other opinions first because of the work that will need to go into it to get it from being a flatarch to that.
    I personally like it I'm just not sure about the effort that will have to go into it to get it on mine.

    I will still buy other parts though.

    Subtle mods always look nicer mate no need for body kits. Slam your car low nice wheels tidy exhaust and a good general clean mate always looks better then a bodykit
