when somone says there expecting pay about 60% of askin price is the normal ebay rubbish which is why you didnt get a reply, its a time waisting excercise.
to not let any question go unanswered after reading this thread, original price stands only. End of debate.



There are plenty of cheapas^ kits about you wont problem finding one with your budget good luck in your hunt :thumleft:

They're really not joking about the cheap bodykits. I was dumb enough to go and do it myself and the kit is bloody awful. It fits, thanks to the bodyshop being able to modify them to, but it cost at least if not more than the decent kits in the first place, not to mention the kit is likely to ripple as soon as it starts getting hot due to how thin it is. I'll stick with it for a while, but soon as I've got spare cash floating about, I'm going on the hunt for a better one :D

No worries. I may have some (genuine) Phoenix spats from what I can tell. They're certainly not the usual material that I've come to know as far as bodykits go and they've got proper fixings on them, rather than having to make them fit. I test fit them and they were perfect on mine. Soon as I've got premium (soon!) i'll be throwing them up for sale (And no this is not an advert people! They are not for sale until then - don't want to get in trouble for circumventing the system :D)

Assuming you mean this style, that is. Anyhow, if they're wrong I'm sure someone will point it out to me :)

It's a handmade exhaust with a power flow back box. Haha I have never heard of them before. I can't have a normal exhaust because of intercooler vent. You had his turbo haven't you? And power fc?? Like vultures aren't we hahah

Was it a 3071 turbo he had? How's he goin on with the bits has he got rid of most of em? Was a nice kid. My mates having the arb's off him.

:lol: :lol: Cheers Jason

Its running a 3076r and yes most the bits are now gone. I think Phil should look at around 1.5bar. It should be good for 450hp. Ryan 2bar is the man for the Power FC.

Your cars looking minted :thumleft: ...I used to have one similar :cry:
