View Full Version : Bodykit baby, yar!
Spent most of Saturday fitting up the bodykit that arrived for my car a couple of weeks ago... I bought one of the barganious kits from L2K Developments (http://www.tuningessential.com/) consisting of Silvia front bumper and overfenders plus S13 sideskirts, rear bumper and rear overfenders...
All of the skirts are URAS Type 4 copies.
Started Saturday morning looking like this:

Wing off and test fit the first Silvia overfender:

Then took off the rest of the front and test fitted the three bits together:

The fit is pretty poor tbh, it needs a lot of fettling to get it looking straight and it's going to take even more to repair the little cracks and holes that have opened up in the fibreglass while we were adjusting the panels.
Still, for the money, I think they're perfectly acceptable... I'm really happy with the way the car looks now:

Just have the rear overfenders to fit before starting to mess with it and getting it to fit better. Then we'll be taking everything off again and repairing/prepping it all for the final fit. Then slamming it as low as we can, maybe spacing the wheels out some more and sending it for paint. The colour's chosen and I can't wait. It looks so aggressive now - thinking I might get a carbon bonnet to go with too :D :D
Looking good :nod:
Love that front bumper
Getting there :cool:
You taking one of those nice shoes to get a colour match? :D

Looking good, will look even better when its all fitted properly and painted.
Any clues on the colour, or do we have to wait and see?

Nice one, :thumbs:
i got a nice and cheap kit for mine from Ebay for £385, which im really happy about.
Will be fitting it during the summer, i think im going to have alot of problems doing it too. Theres no holes and i think i will need to sand down it to make it fit perfectly.
But for the money you cant Complain.
Looking good :thumbs:
Keep the pics coming
That's looking rather angry :thumbs:
Last night we refitted the front bumper and headlights a little better and added the front indicators and grill...

That looks lush!
looking awesome:eek: can't wait to see it painted:notworthy
The car looks fantastic in the flesh, the road presense with the front arches is just crazy now. Can't wait to see it with the rest of the kit on the back end :thumbs:
what did overfeners cost , a pair? are they 50mm?
I don't actually know what the width on them is - they've got to be 30mm though. I'm not even sure how much they were as I bought loads of stuff together and I got a 'special' discount ;)
Email the guys at L2K Developments, they'll sort you out :thumbs:
Looking good mate :thumbs:
I think you need to loose the BGW though, it's soooo big.... and gay ;)
What's going on with the kouki lower panel? Is it an FRP one?
I was tempted by some the L2K fenders myself but if you buy them on their own I think they are around £225 which isn't far off Chargespeed money. I think you get a better deal when you buy a complete kit.
The Kouki lower panel is a genuine panel... What do you mean? :wack:
You get 10% off at L2K if you say I sent you ;)
Sorry, thought because it was in primer it was a copy :wack:
It isn't in primer ;)
It's silver, just it's dirty and the angle on it puts it in shadow and makes it look like primer :D
I think the wing looks good with the car all kitted up, can't wait to see what colour you go for. Hopefully it'll be something that'll contrast nicely with the carbon bonnet!
Before being kitted the wing looks too big for the car, now its kitted it has balanced the look of the car out loads
Looks nice mate, i might be able to see it in the flesh when i come down to see doz, that's if he doesn't kill me and have his dirty :ghey: way with me :p :wack:
looks cool mate, i've got exact same kit and fenders on mine. still messing with fitting it. did u have problems lining the front bumper? mine seems to have a gap between where it meets with the fenders?
The spoiler really suits the car too:thumbs:
i love the style of the kit i think it will look excelent once its all fitted and sprayed.
not that much of a fan of the rear bumper tho.. its the lower lip that botheres me. it looks like its just there to catch any air that does get under the car and cause drag..
but beside that it still looks fantastic!
I'll be honest, I'm not a massive fan of the rear bumper myself - it'd look strange without it though....
Jay, fitment of this kit is a bitch, it's not been brilliantly moulded. The front bumper and wings are going to take a fair bit of refitment before I'm happy yet.
Just fitted my uras copy kit, i bought on here for 370, it had no holes, etc etc, made a really good job fitting it, btw wing is lush m8 i want one, where u get it from? how much u pay for it? if u wanna get rid, can i have dibs on it, hehe.
I got the wing second hand from Driftworks, cost me £300, it's made by Rotora and they're around 1200 Euros new and I'm not selling. :D
lovely , looks the dogs *ollock

Don't suppose you fancy selling me your old wings and bumper for much cheapness :nod:
Dave
