Default Who in the UK use's aftermarket bodykits

Hello All,

Just thinking out loud really....

Who in the Uk uses aftermarket bodykit on there Honda S2K ?

Anything from front splitters to complete wide arch kits ?

Even if you dont, what are your thoughts on them , like them but cant really justify spending ££££ on them , dont like them / etc etc ?

I see over the pond they like there bodykits but what about here in the UK.


Thanks

Aaron

Besides from the Honda front lip and low rear spoiler, I think that bodykits cheapen the look of the S.

I'd rather spend the money elsewhere, such as suspension, or on a trackday or down the pub!

I first thought this, however some of the APR / AMUSE stuff looks really really nice.

Thanks for your input

It's a personal taste thing really and many on the forum/in the UK will label aftermarket kits for the S as being ''chav''. Not as big in the UK as in the USA, but if you personally like it then go for it.

I personally feel that there are a few kits which make the S2000 look aggressive and sexy. I'm actually in the market for the Amuse widebody, but probably not until next year.

No a big fan of wide body stuff but there are some good looking bumpers, bonnets and lips and spoilers about.

Im a fan of the J's front bumper. There is one here v

Some of the more refined kits are very nice!

J's, ASM, Amuse, Amuse, GT 1 if you have a turbo.

IMO it should be the last thing you buy though when modding.

I havent seen one bodykit that makes the S looks better apart from spoilers/lips.

The other bodykit changes the look but dont improve the look, its pretty nice to look at already.

I think the car looks fantastic with a j's kit n a massive wing, very low, in race trim.



Only problem is, once it's like that, the only way it'd get out my drive and down the kind of roads where I live, is on a trailer.
