scottybennoch Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi all Are fibreglass bodykits really that hard to fit?? All my local bodyshops i am contacting say that they don't even want to take it on or that they are a pain in the arse and wouldn't have a clue how much they would charge as could take a long time. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 When you say bodykit, do you mean arches included? Or just bumpers and skirts? Wide arch kits do seem to take various levels of work to get them to fit depending on where you got them from. Even the bumpers and skirts could be a pain. I'm guessing a lot of bodyshops have had nightmares with fitment on kits before and had fallings out with customers over it. I'd agree that it's a very hard thing to put a price on. What kit have you got? Where's it from? What are you asking the shops to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybennoch Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I havn't actually got it yet i am just ringing round trying to get a rough price. Its just front bumper side skirts and rear bumper no arches. Its going to be a trial rear and top secret front bumper and not 100 percent of side skirts yet. I may even just get front bumper first as mine is a mess. I have seen them on the knight racer website. All i am looking for it the price to fit as i have someone to paint them.

Mk4Gaz Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Not too bad to be honest, I've done some real nasty fitting ones, and its only a case of trimming here and there. Most kits available nowadays are much better fitment than you used to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
