that was before I tried to fit my skirts today I got from them, they are not a very good fit, luckly they were not to bad..they had also forgot to drill a hole in one of the tabs, and the winglets are completly out of shape. I was quite disapointed.

not worth the money IMO

will post as soon as i get them , i know they moved pemises , but still in the same industrail estate . i hope the are still trading , i dont think other bodykit makers like them to much because they buy the kits and fix them and make moulds to reproduce them.

i even witnessed them taking dlivery of a kit from a certain place and when it was unwrapped the bumper had a hole in it, jst like as if it had been hit with a hammer. he told me it happens alot.

any kit my dad has fitted in his bodyshop was always from them, the only time the kit didnt bolt on was a corsa that was a cat c and wasnt perfectly straight

...They offer the same guarantee that most suppliers do last time I checked. Anyone who offers a GURANTEE FIT these days is simply stupid, it doesn't exist unless they have your car in the shop and are fitting it for you in a deal. Nobody spends enough on molds to ensure consistency and maintains cost -effectiveness.

Pays your money and takes your choice, Rogue have sold me the best fitting stuff so far TBH which is RMG / RGM (can never remember). I'm still on the lok out for a bolt on BOMEX bumper myself though.

...And I've ordered stuff from the supposed "god" of MR2 kits and it was a million miles out from a fit compared to Rogues stuff

as above but more than 4 , when i picked the kit i wanted them to fit to mine they mixed n matched till i was happy , didnt even need bolted on , got the veilside front and rear and border skirts.

i dont see how a bolt on fit is stupid , toyota made all the cars the same didnt they ??? also seen with my own eyes , working in my dads spray shop , pick the kit up , fit it and prep for paint, not just mr2s all chav cars aswell lol

my undesrtanding of bodykits is they never fit perfect first time. they always need fettling . hence the " bodyshop will need to fit " statement. im no expert on grp but surely it does shrink/warp on molding and may need adjusting...
