Its cheap mate thats why I am asking I expect it to need some work and I know it all needs to be aligned for fitting but how is general quality if you hold it up to the light how do the seams look from the inside do they look thin for example?.

Your putting me on the spot there Jas :smilewinkgrin: I'll let you judge when its finished :wink5:
Overall its not bad, but on comparison with the roush kit, its a little lacking imo (being kind trying not to offend the owner). We have yet to fit it to the car, note: there are no fitting holes pre-made in the kit, so we have to lign it all up and drill our own fittings.
Shoulda fitted it first Al, cos it'll get damaged during fitting
That was the plan Tony, it just didn't work out that way, so we'll just have to be extra careful.
Front bumper grill holes can be got underneath with a pencil
And expect to junk the engine splash tray, cos it probably wont fit without extending the lower lip of the bumper

Also clamp the sides with molies before drilling (2 each side) it allows some tweaking before you drill
Are you referring to the bumper/wing fixings? I know what a pain those rusty bolts can be.

I'll get a couple more for you tomorrow. The front bumper is now a nice matt shade of Blurple :ihih:
Just shear them off Al, sort them out on the bench, you can weld new bolts on if you want, but i didnt bother, just drill and use nut n bolt
They sheared when i took my front bumper off when i resprayed it. I knocked out the original tacked bolts from the brace plate and spot welded a couple of battery terminal bolts in place. they were perfect for the job
Nuts/bolts would have done the same job, it just made the job of re-fixing easier with the bolt being fixed.
Bl***y butchers Time and patience + a little heat will remove any bolt Work it forward and work it back! Loads of wd work it forward work it back:mad2:
