Shopping for UK body mods
Hi all,
So I'm considering going shopping for a body kit as my 03 sk2 is crazy rusty on all 4 quarters (I think it spent the first couple of years dunked in the ocean or something). After looking around I've found the following panels which look great and are cheap, but are over in the states and therefore the manufacturer want a small fortune to ship them to the UK. Anyone have any idea if you can get similar panels in the UK for a reasonable price?
The wings: (I think they're Seibon replicas)

I don't need to get the bumper replaced but hey, "in for a penny, in for a pound". Plus I can currently get in the UK.

What you have chosen there is actually the ASM front fenders and the ASM rear over fenders. The seibons are a copy from ASM. I honest expect the ones you have linked from the US will fit like a pile of garbage for that cost. Id look to source reputable parts or you will spend a small fortune getting them to fit the car well. The carbon copies from Seibon are actually meant to fit very well so that's a starting point and you wouldn't have to paint if you like the carbon look. As for the rears, this style is the most popular over fender in the UK so there must be decent replicas available.
As for that font bumper i kind of hope it was a joke. Looks like its from Fast & the Furious
