the abyss kit is ok, but there is better out there!

ppl also put the mondeo boot spoiler on the gte wrap around spoiler as well, but again, there are better spilers out there!

but if you are on a budget and want a decent kit, might as well, unless you want to build your own and be different?

Its rwally upto you mate! The common ones are cheap! There is a fair few ready available ones!

Abyss
Novadose
Delta 1 through 3
Fusion
BAT Motorsport
Magnum
Animal
Type K
Dawsons Exterminator

The list goes on and on and most can be customised to suit your car! Have a look at what YOU like and then get saving! They all look nice but with the rite mods!

For example, the abyss rear bumper only looks nice in my opinion with a twin centre exit exhaust!

I spent a lot of time researching this... Most of them either look like they've come off a 1950s Sci-fi show with fins everywhere, or look unfinished. Fit and finish is whatt you need to consider, personally I don't like the abbyss kit but there's wrong with it. I went for the Quad-convertions "Viper" kit, it's made from ABS not fibreglass and fits like a glove on the car. It's about ?400 but I've never actually seen another on a car, cool!

The best thing about Novas, is that there is so much avaliable for them, there is litterally hundreds of parts to use to mix and match with other parts to make your car look different to others!

thats the whole point of this game, to have a car with is different and unique!

as mentioned, the list is endless, so much, but at the end of the day, its personal choice and preference!

my dream kit would consist of half euro and half jap, others might say that, that might look a bit pantz, but its would i would like, i reackon it would be a head turner as well!

depends if you want to be noticed as well! lol :D

Well all you get with it are a few metal plates to fit the front bumper on with. The Sideskirts and the Rear bumper you have to make your own brackets for. Unless they sent me the wrong fitting kit, which I doubt.

The full kit was ?500, ?518 with delivery. It is fairly good quality. Not too flimsey like some are.

Most kits need a trim and a bit of playing around with to fit!

If a bumper needs trimming, then just use your old one and place it on top of the new and use as template and then cut!

As for fitting, usually they fit but the supports which come are in small quanity or flimsy, so you may need to get some more to make the bumper fit right and steady.
