Tricky-Ricky Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 (edited) Spent the afternoon doing the first fit of some bits of my new kit, not to bad a fit,seen lots worse, it will take a bit of fettling, but i think it will look OK looks strange in black and white, Edited September 8, 2015 by Tricky-Ricky (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 people usually use filler, fibreglass n stuff, perhaps duct tape could be a new fashion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Why fit the kit before taking it to the shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 Thought I'd be different and just use gaffa tape:p and i did say first fit, it will be on and off more times than a pros nickers before it goes on for good;) yes it is the euro kit,don't think i will fit the rear arches, unless i cut them down and blend them right in, the front will be blended, and the only time it will go to the shop is to be sprayed, by me;) i do everything myself.

It is rip-off labour, which makes such huge difference (+ company name). Very true! i have seen known makes that have been of questionable quality, and lousy fit, a lot has to do with material thickness, and how long there left to harden in the mould, if it taken out to early, the storage tends to warp them, same goes for stuff thats left stored for to long.

supra matt Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Looking good mate , but looks like the rear bumper and skirts are flaired to take the rear quarter panels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Looking good mate , but looks like the rear bumper and skirts are flaired to take the rear quarter panels? No the skirts are flush at the rear just like std, and the rear bumper is a slight bump just like the std spats, so if i want to leave them off it shouldn't cause a problem.

Tricky-Ricky Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 mold the rear bumper lip into the stock bumper, would look way better mate!! Trouble is when moulding over the std bumper, it can cause cracking due to the flexibility of the std bumper and the fact that the filler is very thin, i may just make it a swage line feature, to save constant repairs;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
