blending looks great but not when it cracks a bit furthur down the line

Here are some pics of a few supra's we have fitted on. As you can see in the pics our trial is simply a bolton fitment with no need to blend in as it really does sit properly on the car. You will find that most copy trial rear bumpers need blending or extending because where it meets the rear quarters the fiberglass is too short and leaves gaps. What we have done is rectify this problem when we moulded it making sure that when it comes to fitting to the rear quarters the shape is fine. First pic is the bumper fresh off the mould just fitted to the car, unpainted and unmolested http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/fitted/supra/tr1.jpg this second pic is a bumper we made in black gelcoat, however later on we decided against black gelcoat as it affected the paint finish http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/fitted/supra/tr2.jpg different views of our bumper fitted and sprayed. As you can see no blending or molding needed as it fits properly. We have desaturated the pics so you can see the lines of the bumper clearly http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/fitted/supra/trbw1.jpg http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/fitted/supra/trbw2.jpg

We make all moulds ourselves here. We dont buy any moulds at all as we wouldnt trust the quality of someone else's moulds

well speed culture import from a company in america. ebay, some good finds as long as you check the seller's feedback carefully
-
we have plenty of pics on file but none of them belong to the supra forum. Lee will be here on Monday so we will have some pics of the kits fitted to a members car on Monday.
-
suppose you could try ebay. speed culture may do one.

Sorry Daman, ive pm'd you. As for the bumper, it would take us around 1 hour to take off your original and fit this one on nicely. If you don't like it then you can walk away and we'll put your original bumper back on. Marc, sorry but we dont get a lot of demand for the civic kits anymore so we stopped importing them well before we started making the kits in store

We have had a lot of help from the skyline guys recently. Heres a few pics of the work we have done and also a few from customers: glad to be finally back on the owner's club. Been away for a bit but we've been very busy during this period. Here's a few pics of a selection of skylines we have worked on. As always we guarantee the fitment of pur products and you can see why in the following pictures. Belinda's R32 BDC drift car. The kit was actually put on in 10 minutes prior to an interview with skysports at round 3 of BDC at Norfolk. Its in gelcoat white NOT PAINTED FRESH OUT OF OUR MOULDS and we fitted the FULL KIT and vinyls in 10 minutes. As you can see the fitment is perfect... http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/customerfitted/r32ur.jpg Next is Jay's R33 skyline with our BN style front bumper. Again this is NOT painted and fresh out of our moulds. Again you can see the quality of our fitments. http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/customerfitted/r33bnf.jpg James' R33 with our TS style fitted. First pic is of the bumper fresh off the mould plonked onto the car and second is the finished product. http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/customerfitted/r33tsf.jpg http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/customerfitted/r33tsf1.jpg Next up is forum member WILD E COYOTE, his MS sport front bumper fitted straight out of our packaging in less than 30mins (we could have done it in 5 mins lol) :dogpile: http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/customerfitted/r33msf.jpg TJ's R33 with our full Ms sport kit fitted. http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/customerfitted/r33ms.jpg And finally the Infamous wings that actually do fit if you know what you are doing. We are determined to prove that our wings do fit and heres a few pics from our customers who have fitted them with ease. Many thanks to Luke and Steve. http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/customerfitted/r33wings.jpg http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/customerfitted/r33wings2.jpg http://www.replikit.co.uk/images/customerfitted/r33wings3.jpg Quote from Luke Ellard who sent us the following email: Hi, It was nearly a year ago when i purchased these off you along with a front bumper ! Its taken this long to even think about getting them fitted LOL, i must admit i had heard some horror storys that put me off trying as i am no good with filler and shizzle ! But i must thank you as they are really a very good fit, i have not tried the bumper but if it is as good as the wings then all good. cheers luke So in summary guys and gals, our stuff really does fit and we have the photos to prove. All our products are made in store here by ourselves. They are NOT imported from China, Japan or wherever else people claim they get them from and squashed in containers for months which alter the shape of them hence the bad fitment. All our kits are made from our test fit cars and we KNOW they fit. Dont wanna sound too up ourselves but we have all worked very hard here to supply quality products and to hear unjust comments really does get us down.

Lack of competition? where have you been recently? i can count off the top of myhead around 20 bodykit suppliers in England alone, competing in a niche market. Sorry guys would love to give a furthur discount but we are extrmely busy at the moment and free fitting is all we can offer for now. We just want to bolt the bumper to a member's car. We've sold a few to supra club members but they haven't come through with photos and posted them on the forum themselves as promised.
-
oh and unlimited cups of tea and coffee
-
ahh, that perfect world optimism.. fraid not though. Free use of tools and a helping hand is what we are offering. Come on peeps, we've been running for more than 10 years now, most of it behind the scenes...only in the last 4 years have we started doing retail, surely we're doing something right to still be up and running?
-
hmmm dilema, is there a member near us who wouldnt mind coming down to have the bumper fitted to the car? we are located in sawbridgeworth near Harlow, Essex. As we stated in our trade application, we just want a chance to prove ourselves to the supra club, if we're not up to scratch then slate us all you want but all we want is a chance to prove to you guys and gals that 1) our bumpers fit extremely well and 2) the quality is far superior than others on the market.
-
flimsy? we used three layers of 300 gram weight fiberglass matting. any more and the bumper would be too heavy, any less and the bumper would be too flimsy. we can make a thicker bumper but it would be too heavy for the screw fitments. Trial themselves use a matting weight of 750 so theirs is even more flimsy than our one. As for the top middle section we kinda had to cram eveything into the van so may have been squashed. but once it was on the car and when it is sitting on top of the rear panel it straightens itself out.
-
we have yet to apply again, just too much going on at the moment. what was it that led to you not being impressed?
-
hahaha, in a perfect world we would give you one. thanks but we have quite a few pics of it fitted for now. thanks for the offer though. like we say the fitment is guaranteed or your money back. if you are only in northampton then how about this: You can come down to us and we'll gave you a hand fitting it here. Will save you on the shipping costs. we're only 1hr away. this way if it doesn't fit you dont even have to pay us, however i guarantee you will be leaving with a trial bumper on the back of your supra and a few quid poorer....but smiling
