Considering purchasing a bodykit

[Millzzz]

I've been toying with the idea of getting the Z a kit, I know which one & I've found a genuine one on EBay.

However, I've never kitted out a car before & was just wondering a few things.

 

1) Roughly how much would it cost to spray Front, rear & skirts PPW (Front & rear mainly white but some parts black)

2) With winter on our doorstep, would be worth it or should I wait until it's pi$$ed off?

How long is a piece of string?

 

Costs will vary, mostly dependant on the quality of the kit and the bodyshops ability to match the paint etc...

I got quoted £500 for fitting and spraying by a company in mansfield that had done a few zeds, try and find someone decent and a genuine kit or well known replica brand is my advice.

 

I don't think it really matters what time of year you do it although personally I'd get winter out the way and have it all done for spring

[Millzzz]

It's a genuine Ings, but will probably go before I get the funds for it.

As has been said the cost for spraying and fitting will depend on the quality of the kit.

 

If its your daily driver I would leave the fitting until the spring.

 

One point which may be obvious, I would avoid having the kit sprayed by the bodyshop you choose then fittied later, Some colours are a mare to match without the car being there to compare.

Just seen your latest post, the Ings is a great fit, just make sure its the right rear for your car, the front also changed around 06.

Thats pretty cheap, I paid £270 just for my front bumper to be resprayed.

 

I'd wait until the spring aswell

So am I! Hence why I'm asking advice really . . . With all the crappy weather we had down here last winter, I'd be concerned of sliding about & bumping it.

Not too mention all the grit & sh*t on the roads this time of year . . .

[Ricey]

Being devils advocate...........life is far too short mate. Plus whats going to happen next winter??? You going to take it off

 

If you've got the dollar.........get it done now and enjoy it.

[Millzzz]

If it is the ings on ebay then I think it is paul on here (green turned yellow zed) - I am sure he has had it primed already and I don't see fitment being an issue.

 

Let the modifying begin.
