supraman.chris Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Dear experienced, I'm narrowing down my bodykit desires to consist of a Do Luck front bumper, Veilside skirts and a Trial rear bumper. However, as any true tight arsed Scotsman will admit i've been trying to cut corners and save money with some sucess to be fair.I've Learnt that Jap kits are much better quality than Chinese or Hong Kong manufactured kits but is there such a difference between original kits (quality,fitting ease) and these replicas? Has anyone had bad or good experiences with these replicas from feedback from their bodyshops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 buy the trail rear(miami-gt style) and do luck front from paul e at http://www.miami-gt.com as you will get a very good fit and a wicked price:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Most of the ebay stuff is useless (IMO). Its really a false economy to buy cheap body kits as fitting can end up costing a fortune. Been there, done that! Paul Evans (Miami-GT) can supply excellent quality copies or original kits (to be honest he's the ONLY trader I trust to provide copied kits). Obviously the copies are more cost effective, but I think they are reasonbly priced. PS: Good choice of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 The orange car you list is my old car and I bought most of the bosy kit from Paul E (Miami GT) and my bodyshop guy said it was the best copies he had ever seen. You could probably buy a lot cheaper - then spend twice as much with the bodyshop getting it fitted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraman.chris Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Hmmm....i do remember in the days of my Mk1 Punto GT getting a kit on the cheap and my bodyshop having real difficulties with it. So there is a considerable difference when it comes to quality then. Miami-Gt are my port of call but i just had to convince my wallet first before taking the plunge! I intend to start on the outside as soon as i've sorted my steering problem, so rest assured i'll post as many progress report pics for all those interested.

Homer Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 So there is a considerable difference when it comes to quality then. Yes, there's a huge difference between the various companies. A few searches on here will reveal how bad they can be. (Tip: search for "Hyper Performance") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 there is a company called vineplace i think robsheffield used them and he got the trail rear for i think over £100 cheaper than on here and he was pleased with the fit all be it a bit tricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
