can anyone help?

I have found that most body work bumpers skirt's ect never fit that well, you will all ways need to "play" with it to make it work right, this is true on all cars and makers of kit, dont get me wrong, some people do get good one that fit perfect. It has never happened to me

I had an IBK toms rear and it was as thin as a piece of paper, it was wavey and generally crap.

Someone else on here has had some of there stuff and has said the fit was terrible.

Unfortunately, you do get what you pay for on eBay...

i can speak from experience,



dont be fooled by cheap kits!

what you save on buying it cheap, will be paid in blood sweat and tears making it fit correctly and getting a good finish,by you or the bodyshop....

go for a quality kit, but beware they all garantee good fitment....

Look for reccomendations, If a few members say a certain company is good then go for them.

I was trying to think of the ebay member i got my border front bumper off, That's it...... it was Stylingfx, The fit on that was awesome. Have a look see if there still trading.

i bought a toms front and rear bumper off of IBK last year - the fit was absolutly awful, i only got round to fitting the rear bumper (that involved cutting lumps out and reprofiling it)
We offered the front bumper up to the car and within 60seconds it was back in its bubble wrap and on ebay - it didnt even have cutouts for the xxxxxx indicators/sidelights.
