Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Bit of an 'info only' thread but for the likes of Frogspeed Int etc least it will come up on Search. Genuine V3 Veilside Body Kit, Same as Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift Comprising of: Front Bumper Side Skirts Arch extenders Rear Bumper Rear Spoiler Price - Approx £5000 Availability - Made to order Lead time - 6 to 12 months. Form an orderly queue Quote
Sarnie Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 £5k and 12 months for that?? Rik could do it cheaper and quicker Quote
stubzie83 Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Wow Frogspeed Int won't be happy with that lead time Still if you want a Drift King style car i guess it might be worth the wait but £5k is a bit steep. Quote
coldel Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Its still just fibreglass isn't it? 6-12 months? You can build an Airbus A380 in less time. Am I missing something here? Quote
rtbiscuit Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 small batch numbers and finding the time to do it sounds about right. Quote

Nope, your not missing anything Col. Although the Airbus is probably a bit dearer and has a bigger manufacturing plant. You will pay similar for the Nismo V3 complete Aero kit. Quote
sasha@lazytrips Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 It's cheap compared to some kits out there Quote

Still can't get my head around it...phone rings at Veilside, someone picks up "hello would like a body kit, you know, the ones you advertise for sale that you make" - "ok Sir, I know we say we make them but really we are busy, give me 6-12 months and I might fit you in - oh and when I can fit you in that'll be £5k for some fibreglass work' Its not the cost, its the time taken that bemuses me Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted February 4, 2012 Author Posted February 4, 2012 5 months of translating Japanese to Engwish, 1 month to make lol Quote

Volk are the same with wheels - once they hit the magic number then it goes into production, hence the minimum 90 day wait for a set. Quote
docwra Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Sweet Jesus, I got a full Chargespeed kit modified to fit +70mm custom metal arches, all fitted and the whole car painted for less than that. And it doesnt look like an accident either Quote
