Body Kit

[TheLucksta]

Does anybody know what type of plastic material the bumpers are made out of??
I'm looking into a body kit, but I don't want to get a cheap fibreglass imitation that would crack easily.

I think the good ones are made out of polyurethane....

could be wrong but could be right

you need to get one made out of a mimetic poly-alloy, liquid metal... sorry, i had to say it cos i was watching T2 today!

I can't remember the real name but its actually a type of plastic. IF a body kit was made of fibreglass and something hit against it, it would crack where as if it was made of this plastic stuff, it would just stay stiff or would bend. This doesn't mean it still can't crack, it just means its stronger.

To my knowledge they use ABS plastic with the origanal bumpers....

On the subject of Kits and has probs been asked & answered before.. does anyone know of a place in Bris West/Ips area that supplies and fits?

Want to keep it simple.. low profile spoiler, get rid of the 'black outs' & trims Thats about it. Same with window tint & lowering... any suggestions. Have white VT so want to 'do it up' but not over do it.

Cheers

Dark tinting looks sweet on a white car!!! I'd go the SS or Clubspoet spoiler, not the s-pac one... they look like a mini ironing board.
