tmJak Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Just got car back from bodyshop with my V1 kit fitted. He did a good job with the fitment, but it's just a shame the kit is fibreglass as it'll probably shatter before next week . . . know a few peeps on site are interested in this kit. just make sure you get urethane and painting and fitting cost just shy of £500 (if this missus reads this I meant £100 ) Quote
S1 HNK Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 been waiting for this thread!! looking really good there mate, what was the fit like on the front lip? (did the bodyshop say anything) the one i've ordered is the latest urethane version....is yours frp? i think the proportions of the veilside v1 are just right...the lip especially. any further mods planned?

tmJak Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 Nice ...bigger wheels next? it's in the pipeline been waiting for this thread!! looking really good there mate, what was the fit like on the front lip? (did the bodyshop say anything) the one i've ordered is the latest urethane version....is yours frp? i think the proportions of the veilside v1 are just right...the lip especially. any further mods planned? fella in the bodyshop said the front lip was difficult to fit, and he had to use rivets to secure it as 3M tape just won't stick frp in place. sides and back were pretty easy but he bonded them rather then using sticky tape and put extra screws in the rear (mind the double entendre) to keep it in place. urethane is a much better material, as it last longer and is less likely to shatter when curbing or crack over potholes plus urethane can be heated to assist fitting unlike frp which pretty much explodes if baked. got some under hood pimping to do this weekend, then wheels, then exhaust. then i'll be happy. . .honest cheers for response guys.

Chris`I Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Looks good, I've always like the VS kit. I was going to get the lip before Phil showed me the Varis on I now have. How much are the side spats/skirts? I'm tempted by these or full Nismo skirts or just mud guards. Really cant make my mind up! lol Quote
tmJak Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 i got a real good deal from nemesis.co.uk, who sold the sides for £100. think that was on a serious sale as usually are about £250. they might have some left. Quote
tmJak Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 Need bigger wheels though agreed either gun metal 19'' tsw thruxton's on lmgt4's. not sure which yet, depends which one's come up cheapest when i'm looking. Quote
The Hoff Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Cant say I like the side skirts but the rest of the kit looks sweet. Espically the rear bumper Quote
GIXXERUK Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 lookin certainly different, wheels would enhance the kit imo Quote
tmJak Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 You've got a wonky stubby! ooer! what you tryin to say? lookin certainly different, wheels would enhance the kit imo think my car's gotta stalker. at least my aerials shorter now Quote
