alessandro Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hi, Seen those on PH and might be interested but aren't they a bit cheap? Any toughts?

Chris`I Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 The first link (now fixed for you) seems to be our trader Rik - as its a guy called Rik in Leicestershire, United Kingdom. So I guess the first one is valid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Its about what Rik is selling for isnt it? +1 on the poor fit / quality etc but if the one is painted then the hard work of making a badly fitting kit fit has been taken away!! Link to the painted one not working.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link to the painted one not working.... I don't know how to fix the link but it's on PH classified part&accessories on page 5. £600 seems to good to be true when you find front bumpers only for over £ 400 I think that unless it's from Rick on here I will stay away from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price will probably be the same mate. Only a few places around that make the replicas up, normally in China and Taiwan.. Out of the replica items Shine is seen as the best ones to go for for fit and quality. But I think you saw them the other day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Always the originals for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alessandro Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 My little pocket can't always afford the original but I agree that you get the best with it. I've seen Envy's stuff and even if I'm not an expert it seems very good and the fact that it's highly reccomended by everyone on here it's a big +. I just find it soo hard to stick to my plans and not buy everything I see but I guess I'm not the only one on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixaman Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 geraghtyr200, I took them off mine, looks better that fat ar5e and wide tyres, I wasnt, and still arnt sure about the style with them on. I mean they are part of the kit but just look so out of place, every so often I take them out of the garage to try on again but when I stand and look at them, they come off again, sorry, not for me...

jimbadman Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 The first one sounds good but the second one i bet would cost about a grand at least to get to fit. Lots of filler i would have thought, i bought a replice Ecosse kit for my 206 years ago.... not worth the hassle and would have been cheaper in the end to go direct for the original.

BulletMagnet Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Looking at the second ad, I think it might be our own maz on here (maz = the fella that bought roasts 20" ultralites and put them on his azure roadster, the fella that made his own custom alu undertray) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont quite understand why this was called a SCAM as every word in that add is true to my knowledge, if I'd said in the add "A NISMO KIT" than that would be a SCAM but I didnt'. people need to choose words wisely before spitting them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think he ment scam Maz in that way, its just they were cheap and thought someone was trying to rip him off...

Sorry the bumper cracked mate unfortunately mark the bumper was split in half but never mind. I dont quite get the rip off bit as I didnt approach him to sell him the kit for ££££ (4 figures sum) under the title GENUINE NISMO KIT, and I dont think rik did that either I know what your getting at mark but not what he's.

alessandro Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 First of all I have to apologise to Maz77. As been said by 3FIDDYZ I didn't mean to offend anyone but that price seemed very low to be true, once again my apology On a lighter note........... have you got anything else around? I'm trying to get ideas for the (hopefully) near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Might be worth you editing your original post title Alessandro changing the word scam and then we can edit our posts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
