Ex-Finesse Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 (edited) Fitting aftermarket styling parts is difficult at the best of times. The quality is either OK or shocking. The more expensive bumpers usually fit better and have less rippling in the fibreglass, but nothing is the quality it should be imo. If you're a dab hand at fibreglass / filler and don't mind working to make things fit better, then thingsvare better EDIT: My experience(s)..... Rear bumper is 2 inches wider than the rear wings (not a problem though, it lines up with my arches). Many ripples in the finish. Front bumper - the uprights which 'join' with the bonnet are positioned wrongly. Some rippling and the finish was dire when it arrived. Skirts - Too short, rippled finish. Arches - Depressions in the fibreglass Didnt follow the line of the arch..... Edited October 22, 2004 by Ex-Finesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsi_2oo1 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 i had trouble getting mine to fit too. as ex- finesse said...the cheaper they are, the worse quality they tend to be. sorted mine with a grinder and sum filler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
