lol ^^ Depends on the quality mate, some kits can be a great fit and have no problems where as others, remoulds of the original kit can be horrendous, my mate recently bought a kit off eBay for his **** clio but nothing lined up and had no brackets/mountings or anything!

dont get an rj! they a bugger to fit and not the strongest either. i wish i never botherd now! also very low front bumper. needs to be fitted to a nova on 15's not to scratch speedbumps, and thats with only a 40mm lowering kit

if its only going to be a show car, its the right kit, as its big, but if you plan to do track times with it, get something a bit more subtle, i personnally like the kit, and if i had the money to buy it, i would!

thanx for the advice the kit is for a show car not for every day use just kept for cruising and showing

The bad boy front bumper i purchased was very poor quailty,real thin and even cracked in places.
As the old saying goes 'you get what you pay for' cant believe they use to sell this bumper for ?200 :eek:

If you want to properly reinforce it, bond on metal strips.

i cauld do that but ive got two metal strips that are attached to the bottom of the front of the car behind the bumper that pushes against the bumper, to give it a bit of strength . i had this done when i had the kingdom on it
