StevoD Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Any1 had 1 brought 1 of thees http://bit.ly/1hTals1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Knight racers stuff is quite well known for being a bit hit or miss. Some of it fits great, some of it won't fit at all. When something doesn't fit they aren't the easiest to deal with either knight racer are one of the most useless company ive used next day delivery turned up in 2 weeks didn't fit great and when question started shouting and swearing down the phone 1 Quote
Grundy Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Are you doing it on your own? would say get some more people, it's flexible material. I don't have photo's to match your's but I know at 1st it didn't look like it would fit flush, but after some force it went on nicely. Quote
Zhorno Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 Well hopefully I can at least get some money off , **** take otherwise sprayer said he's gunna cut the end off and make them look good some how. pi**ed off tho Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Zhorno Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 And no it's friend of mine with body shop Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
StevoD Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 not that i wish to be a dick but tarmac does state they might need minor modification and a minor modification on a lip can make a big difference in fitment, might be worth pre heating the lip to get it to expand a bit obviously don't drop a blow torch on it haha but might allow it to expand and be a bit more flexible, many people here are running tarmacs lip with out major problems i no mine is tight (still not fitted) but confident it will go "These lips are an exceptional fit, minor trimming maybe required as standard with replica parts. PU Lips are sold ready for priming and painting, any blemishes found during manufacturing are filled and sanded, this is industry standard. For best results these lips should be bonded to OEM bumper." Quote
OV53 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Can't you dip PU in boiling water to soften it up and then bend and hold it in shape until it cools down? 1 Quote
Zhorno Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 Well either way body shop knows more than me. I would of said that is not a "little" bit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Grundy Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 The image you've shown all depends on how it is the other side, that is a little bit of a gap, these things do stretch, their no deity butterfly. Quote

Grundy Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Seriously just drop those 2 a line...you may end up making things worse when there is no need for it. Quote

You're not doing yourself any favours by posting up issues that you're having with parts and then ignoring the advice given to you. I'm not expert on cars myself either, but these guys are a helpful bunch so I'd take their suggestions on board Quote
Zhorno Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 I know what your saying , but I can't give advice to my friend who been doing spraying and stuff for 30 years I told him it needs to be heated up he just started laughing and said do you not think iv tryed ... I'm just sharing the grief lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

PU Lips are sold ready for priming and painting, any blemishes found during manufacturing are filled and sanded, this is industry standard. For best results these lips should be bonded to OEM bumper." Not to get into an argument about it or anything but that is not an exceptional fit that needs minor trimming, it just doesn't fit. It should read that these need bending into shape if that's the way they all get sent out. When I eventually hear from Abbey I really hope mine doesn't fit like that. Quote

OV53 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Try the boiling water trick first..... Basin with boiling water in, dip the corner in and hold for a minute or so, bend it the dustance required and hold until cool. Repeat for opposite side Quote
StevoD Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 i think the answer to your question is if you want the instant fit spend the dollar and buy a Really Nismo lip/N1 bumper pal Quote
Zhorno Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 He's gunna ring me later I'm sure he will try everything he's not the type of guy to just screw it on then say sorry didn't fit. Be done by the weekend so pics will be up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
martinmac Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I had a damaged CF bonnet. I took it to my mate who has a bodyshop. He said it could be repaired. A member on here told me what to do. I did what he said. It took 10 minutes. Perfect. Quote
