Remember me and my dad fitting my Combat 2 wide kit in the garage :lol: Shocking quality tbh, but as complete n00bs we did manage it.

Note how the stock photo on that listing is a factory car.
Fiberglass might save you money to buy but its complete false economy if it doesn't fit right - unless you're doing it yourself and very skilled then expect a big bodyshop bill to sort it.

Get a daily search setup on eBay, or look for cars breaking. One will turn up soon they always do :)

Don't get fibreglass. Will fit shit, cheaply made etc.
Best off sticking with genuine used. Only the front bumper is different for facelift so rear and sideskirts Gould be easy enough to find. Only problem is there's plenty of people who want them therefor they demand a higher price.
eBay/gumtree places like that best place to look.

putting a body kit will do more insurance wise than trimming the bumper :lol:
so its just the limited edition kit surely you could buy it second hand, it will fit better and you could probably get your colour

I am thinking of buying a body kit for my 2011 Corsa Excite 1.2, and as it is the facelift model bodykits for it are very epensive. I have however come across fibreglass replicas of the body kit for around £200 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-C...item3f2f9f1e49) , a reasonable enough price. I do have some concerns about it though.
I do know some people who have fitted fibreglass kits to their cars, and they say that it just chips due to stones off the road hitting it etc. What is your opinion on it? Should I just save for the original parts or try to source second hand parts from ebay etc and get them posted and sprayed or should I consider these kits?
Also, as my car doesn't have the sports exhaust, if i wanted to fit a sports exhaust would I have to replace my back bumper? I know some people have just cut their bumper to make it fit before, but I would be reluctant to do so! Im sure that voids the insurance in some way?
Thanks!
