   It is different. However if your going to go through the trouble of putting front bumper, front arches and skirts on you might aswell do it all? But if you like the half vt kit look go for it

   Great thing about the Half VT kit is that it's all a simple fit. The rear arches have to be cut for the back end, and the exhaust wouldn't look right on a VT rear bumper (unless you have after market).

   Didnt realise you needed to cut the back arches, shouldn't they line up with the vt rear bumper?

   he means cutting the arches on the car not the plastic arches
   
   and no the rear bumper would look gash without the rear vt arches

   Ah right, can tell I never looked into VT kiting as it's never appealed to me.

   It's not expensive to fit a VT kit at all, but it is if you want it to look right. You'd have to lower the car, the back will look very high otherwise.

   I fitted a VT kit to my 1.1, I would just do the entire kit seen one half done the other day and it looks crap in my opinion.

    yeah i want it to look deiiferent though i dont want a full vt kit because i could just buy a vtr, dunno why but i prefer flatties than the back arches just wana do something to the front because the one arch needs replacing anyway.
