veilside rx7 fortune

[stu0056]

Hi,
 
I am lookin to fit a veilside fortune kit to a RX7. Has anyone here had one fitted as I would prefer to put it to a body shop that has already fitted one.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Many Thanks
 
Stuart

you do realize how much they cost right?

[skillz]

I got quoted a resonable price from a bodyshop to fit one and have the car resprayed. But have since decided to let them do a custom widearch kit for me, gotta fit the kit around these wheels tho:
 

 
let me know if your serious and ill PM you the price they quoted me and details of the company

I\'m liking those wheels. I\'ve tried to PM you but it wont let me. I think its because i\'m a new member. my e-mail is stu1987_4@hotmail.com if you email me there i\'ll be able to speak to you that way.

[Hi RX7]

There is one for sale at the moment but its a complete car. Some time ago on e-bay there was a kit for sale but can\'t remember the price but it was around £14K

Save some money and buy the whole car :rollin

yeh the kit alone for a genuine veilside fortune is like 14k ish... the idea of a fortune kit is the fortune replaces every pannel except the roof...

i think replikit in the UK were making a copy of it...

Jason at super7 has done one, infact i think that maybe the one he did for sale.

[Nik da Greek]

Yeah, he did and it is! Didn\'t know the owner was going to sell up though, cost him about three times the asking price in the end, as well as the base car! Awesome work, though not to my taste. The amount of work J put into just the clocks alone was just ridiculous. The wheels and tyres are probably four grands worth on their own

I\'ve found someone who is selling the real veilside kit for £7,600. It\'s more the fitting costs that i\'m wanting to find out about and also finding a body shop that will do a really good job.

IIRC, the last guy on here that got it done - his username was "jamie fortune" something-or-other, quoted around £5k or so for fitting. As was said - it replaces almost every panel, so takes a HUGE amount of time to do right, add to that the prep time, time to make sure all fits properly, etc etc. Then you will need a fair bit of paint, plus time for painting etc and you are easily looking at that £5k plus I reckon.....

That kit isn\'t to everyones taste (i\'m personally not a fan) but each to their own, but i\'d think seriously about buying one already fitted - it\'s a sh!tload of money for what is essentially one mod!! But by all means go nuts if you have you\'re heart set on it!!

EDIT: here\'s the build thread---- clicky

[stu0056]

By doing it myself i\'d be able to make it to my own spec, i\'m also pretty tied down with what i can do engine wise, I\'ve got a DD10 on my licence so I cant really do much to the performance. I cant add any more than 30% to the power and even then im paying over 3 grand a year.
 
 I was just about to buy an exige and then last minute changed my mind for the mazda. I\'ve already had a RX8 which i did up with all the mazdaspeed bits and pieces. It\'ll be good to have another rotary!!!

Found this at £4999.00 but, don\'t know them :Thumbs-up
