Spent all day fitting the bn bodykit from ep racing. After fitting there wide front wings the other week with no probs thought i would take the risk with there bodykit. The back bumper wasnt to bad just needed heating up and reshaping a bit likewise the sideskirts. The front bumper however was a shocking fit and needed a hell of a lot of work to get it somewhere near right still needs a bit of work but its getting there.

Where did you get the kit from? That is a shocking \'fit\' lol

lee mills

Got the kit from ep racing. To be fair the kit has obviously twisted in storage and i dont think 1 days fettling to get it to fit was too bad considering the difference in price between that and an original kit.
fits well now though:Thumbs-up

were you using the heat gun to reshape the parts?

Yes if you heat it up becomes more pliable and tends to hold new shape when it cools down

My kit was the same and that came from the States!! Not original but the most terrible fit you could imagine. Nice choise in kit mind you and will look uber cool for drifting.

Well for now the project is over:2Mad
Found out why previous owner did such a good job at undersealing the car its rotten :2Mad To say im cheesed off is an understatement. Noit quite sure what im going to do now but will make a decision when ive calmed down a bit

Well if this was just going to be a drift car then just replace what you can, its a fairly straight forward repair, especially those inner sills.  Its the one reason why I always opt for JDM cars, far superior and rust free.
