have a look here for a few bodykits if you are into that.

The best ''bodykit'' for a 95 FTO would be a facelift bumper conversion and a versionR spoiler.
See below the transformation .

Also you can add standard Sideskirts (found on mivec models)

There's a few choices alright, in my opinion original is best though.
The Veilside kit would be bottom of my list but as the lads said, it's down to personal choice.

Ok more advice please, I told my mechanic this evening that the bodykit was on the way in and he literally gave out to me (He is a personal friend.) he said the car is as straight an FTO he has seen in a long while with only 74000Km on the clock. It is still original body and chassis wise and that I should not molest the car by putting a body kit on it whay do you guys think. Your opinion does count.

Cheers Tony.



If you want the kit and like it go for it, its your money, your car.

However do hold onto the standard bumpers and spoiler, you could change it back to standard if ya ever wanted.

I like keeping them as factory as possible, JDM. but it depends on the car.

Maybe get some pictures up. If you are putting the Veilside on, the car will definitely need to be lowered otherwise it wont look right especially on the front!

The veilside kit completely butchers the clean lines, the back end especially.

If you've already ordered the kit then fair enough, at this stage I'd do anything possible to exchange it for any other kit they have.

In my opinion, a dcuautro rear bumper and skirts, blueflame duplex exhaust (quads) , no spoiler, and a facelift front bumper, clear repeaters and apex springs would be money well spent. The veilside kit will take from the looks and look silly.

That's just my opinion though and its your car/money

I have to say the best thing I have done after buying my FTO of course :) was getting the advice of you guys you damn well know your stuff. So bearing all that in mind I had a good look around and I am thinking (Shoot me down here guys again :D if I am wrong.) a Bozz front bumper, topmix side skirts and either a Hiro or Streetfighter rear spoiler???????? The guy with the Veil-side kit was kind enough to put the money back in my credit card I have to say I was not expecting that. Cheers Tony.

I think the Bozz front bumper is an excellent choice, i like the topmix sides as well :smt002


fairplay to your man giving the money back, may i ask where you buying these kits?


main thing is your happy with your choices, its your work of art mate. theres no better feeling than making a car your own, putting your own touch on it

I'd look at a Topmix spoiler as well if you're going with an aftermarket spoiler. Personally I'm not a fan of the Hiro, I know a few cars have had it and some people like it but I think its a little too high. Stewy's one had a Hiro on it a long time ago, but with the evil look of that car the spoilerless look suits it better. Its all about the whole package. Mustang has a Topmix, (I think, correct me if I'm wrong), and I like it. But I have to say my favorite spoiler for the FTO is the GPvR, and not just cause its on mine, I like the shape of the wings on it and its not too high, the one problem is that it lies directly in the middle of the rear window when you look out so it can obscure vision, like any spoiler.
But again its down to personal choice, no point in doing to your car what everyone has done to theirs, its all about uniqueness.

Sounds way better, you may need a rear bumper to compliment the skirts. Not a fan of topmix skirts think they look like those "Mr whippy" bodykits chavs put on orions and saxos in the uk.

Bozz bumper very tasty though, and suits the car. Great choice of spoiler too.

I reckon it would look a bit big on the car, look at the 2 legs where the spoiler sits on the bootlid, if I'm right then they would fit onto where the legs of the GPvR spoiler fit, just at the edge of the boot, now look how far over those legs the top comes, about a foot? I might be wrong on that but if going with that one I'd get dimensions first.
GPvR spoilers would possibly be got from the lads breaking FTOs around, or maybe sites like RBperformance might have them. You should be able to find them all right I would imagine.

RB do a copy of the vR spoiler.
I have one on mine, it's all one piece as opposed to original.
