?500 is cheap. I paid ?380 for mine without bumpers. but cheap doesn't mean good. I would not put my kit on a road car again as it took far to long to get right.
They are mostly made for rally cars and quality doesn't matter all that much.
Its not a job that can be done quick so take all that into consideration.
If ya go ahead with it by all means ask me all the question you want, only glad to help :wink:

how wide are all the kits everyone has fitted coz mine seems alot wider than most.... it brings the swage line out a good 4" at least and even wider at the back....

Alot of people seem to got the metal plate method of wide arching the back end... don't really see the point when the panels are available...

My kit is from a rally company... forgot the name of it though.

can't say in mm what width mine was but when the wide track suspension was fitted it was the same width as an Astra/Vectra because the wide track kit was made in such a way that you can you the longer drives out of one of these to fit! :wink:
