body kit

Post by nitrous6293 »

hi
im not after a full body kit but ive seen this front bumper
http://www.essexracing.com/product_info ... ts_id=1056

do u think it will be a straight fit or will there be a lot of messing around involved .
also do u think it will look good with standard arches and not smoothed ones like it has on the picture

do they come primed and ready for spraying aswell?

cheers

ive just smoothed off the groove on my standard bumpers and when it come to refitting it the front one is all warped and it doesnt fit properly.

instead of just buying a new front bumper and doing it all again ive decided just to get a better one.

yea good idea mate.
it looks well better when its done.

took me a good bit of time to get mine done but it was my first time doing bodywork and spraying.

i just need a front bumper for mine now cos mine wont fit back on my car for some reason.
