Flan Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hey guys, looking for an opinion on where to go with the front of my supe. Looking at either keep the stock bumper with a whifbitz lip and the optional factory sideskirts or going ridox bumper maybe with lip and ridox sideskirts. Back end and colour will look like the pics attached. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The trend in general for most people will be to keep to factory body kit with maybe a lip, such as the Whifbitz one. Ellis' car has been fitted with a very subtle body kit, that retains the feel of the original whilst giving it a little flare. Might be worth considering that? I can't recall the make of his body kit, but I'm sure you can ask him or find his thread on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Flan, bear in mind both of those cars you've posted (definitely the 2nd one) have the Ridox wide arches fitted, so you'd really want to go full Ridox if you're doing the rear arches.

ashloys Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) I was thinking about going for a similar style with my car except with an RMM V2 lip (already fitted). I would ideally like carbon ridox sideskirts and a carbon diffuser for the back bumper. Looks really agressive/racecar style. I do LOVE the ridox front bumper, although I couldn't justify paying so much for one with the carbon splitter etc. But if you can afford one with the carbon splitter etc I'd go with ridox tbh. Also, the kit ellis has is the Twinz kit I think but they're quite rare and not readily available afaik. It's a lovely kit.

TBDevelopments Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Im doing my own bodykit based on the factory kit. Hoping to get something out the mold soon to maybe give you some ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaheer0027 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Unless you have found a kit in the same materials as the oem ie.plastic ,you will get irritated with the amount of cracks your kit will have in next to no time. Talking from personal experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Just for a heads up my car has a full blended fibreglass kit. I dont have any cracks, if its done right and you dont drive it into things it will be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flan Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Thanks for the replies guys, decided to go with stock front and optional sideskirts. But the thought of a modified stock body kit does sound pretty interesting to me so I'll keep a track on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaheer0027 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 depends if you keep hitting it on things Tim TB Developments That's my point. Why drive around knowing you could go over a bump and damage the bumper? I would have loved to keep my kit on but fiberglass sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The kit you're referring to is the TwinZ Kit, supplied by MVP (although this could well be in doubt according to other threads and current reading). Mrs G has this fitted to her car and it does indeed look rather nice! These pics are from MVP and are not her car. Kit consists of front bumper extension plus lower valance/lip. New sideskirts with reshaped air intakes at rear and arch hockeysticks plus sideskirt lower valance. Rear arch extensions. Rear spoiler (not fitted to her car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
