Doesn't look too bad I think...

I do have doubts about the side skirts - I suppose they might look better in the flesh...

It's worth noting that all parts of the kit are add-ons.. so you don't actually get complete skirts, but instead a panel to add to the exsisting skirts..that's probably how they're doing it so cheap..

Link directly to the mitsi category in their shop:

theres a thread on it on the UK forum and one of the bodyshop guys has actually bought a kit and recommends them.
Keep us posted :)

:roll: I've bought one...cough.. :-) Like the look of the front and the rear..not too sure about the sides.. but we'll see once it arrives..might be a bit before I get it fitted as the plan (there's always a plan) is to get a bunch of work done at the same time..- think paint, and minor dent repairs!...

Going by buyers comments some people seem to have delays in getting their products. Maybe you should get onto e-bay and let them give the seller a nudge to speed thins up. There are a good few 'mutually agreed' retractions in the comments area so putting a comment up might also speed up the process. Its also looks like you should check your products carefully before you sign when they arrive.

Have a look through the comments and you'll see what I'm on about...

Ah - I'm patient...I only ordered it a bit more than a week ago..

It'll be months before I fit it, so there's no rush!

Picked mine up last night - had to do a quick test fit...to make sure I'd clear the driveway and the local speedbumps..

Quality is nothing short of amazing - these lads really mean business!
Fit is so good I could actually just snap it on and take a wee drive down the road. Sadly I'd have had to remove the endpieces of the current side skirts to snap on the add-ons so they're not in the pictures.
As you will no doubt notice the car look MUCH lower with the bits on - I'm sure a set of 40profile rubbers will help a wee bit.

Now all I need is a bodyshop that'll take on a bit of bondo-work - cause that line across the ar5e has to go!

What do you think? Does it look boyracery?

I'm thinking once it's on I'll go bareback - and hopefully -funds permitting- car will be a slightly different color..not "not silver" just a different darker silver.. think gun metal.. Ahhh Dreams!

Will you be changing the exhaust to fill the space on the left?
It'd be a shame not to...

CJ can testify that something is a-foot with my current Exhaust - so eventually something will happen on that front too..
Yesterday one of my new co-workers said "Jaysus Mate - I heard your car and I thought a Bike was coming down the road!"
It's definately getting louder - apparently I wake everybody in the estate when I take off in the mornings :-) It's the little pleasures!
