i feel there sales might go up after this post as so many of us wish to buy a good fitting bumper, looking forward to the pics when fitted must say looks very good in picture. :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:

just read link to advert and the one they was selling was 5 cm to wide and i looked for another listing and cant find one for them, you must have been lucky and had last one, i wonder what the skirts and spats fit like hmmm. :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:
she's all comming together nicely now after a fair bit of cash spent, not bad for just an n/a now for some body kit i think.

well the spats i got were from them and they was minimal modding on them

but the skirts i got were veilside from someone else and 1 fit perfect and the other had a bow in the middle were it looks like it was removed from the mould before it had set and bent lol

good job the guy i use is a master with fibre glass as he cut the skirt up and totally re did the lot and now it looks factory fit lol =)

just waiting for my autopista to arrive tomorrow and then its ready for paint saturday afternoon cant wait pics to follow :)

i love carbon bonnets but just couldnt justify spending £600 on a bonnet hence why i modded mine also read a lot of storys about bad fitting, most expensive thing on my car is the wheels at £450 mind you over 3 years ive spent nearly £2500 on it which shocked me and im not done yet, would say im halfway these cars are very addictive longest car ive owned and still love her to bits. :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:

thats cool thay are making the vents again quite a few people wanted to do them after mine, i think the tubby engine lid is much better than an n/a one i like the one's you can bond on with the very raised vents phonix power one's i think thay are well copies of them made of fibreglass thay look really cool. :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:

yea mate there making the vents again i asked if i could pay via paypal after i got this email

Hi,
Price was £39.99 plus £14.99 postage and packaging next day courier.

Kind Regards Dave

so he said that was ok and sent a paypal invoice and i piad so that as soon as the first 1 is done i will get it posted :)

he said he needed to make a new mould though as the old 1 went funny thats why he stopped listing them :thumleft: :thumleft:

im excited about getting it


and i will either get a tubby lid or the v vented 1 from carben fibre creations but the fibre glass version as i want to paint it
