This thread applies to people who i have discussed this with and all those who have parts on order with Kingdom Developments!
I was quoted £400 for the corsa "Intruder" spoiler and also quoted 3 - 4 weeks delivery time - to cut a long story short i waited over 2 1/2 months for it to come, got told countless amounts of lies telling me "another 2 weeks" as i know some off you have heard this before from the same person
then when i received it, part of it was smashed and the whole surface of it was rough, crap and filled with holes and loads of imperfections (not the condition you would expect for a manufacture of £400).
It is now costing me nearly another £100 to sort this out aswell as no fixings eventhough i was told it just bolts straight to the car (the fibreglass is far too thin for this)
In short it has been nothing but a right fanny on from start to finish and costing over £700 - if you ever consider buying from them i recomend you search elsewhere for your own sake!

I believe the moral of this story is:
If you spend £400 on something and you aren't happy with it you send it back.
You don't go and blow another 300 nuggets to fix it.

The £300 is for other work that iam doing at the same time - £its gonna cost me nearly £100 to sort the crap workmanship out but i would rather do that than endure another 2 and 1/2 months of crap and lies

end of the day as i've said before you'll be lucky to get a fibreglass item that doesn't require attention.

Are Kingdom Developments the only people in the country\world who make the spoiler?
There must be someone else who isn't gonna tit you around with bad service?

well esp do one but its not to fit and its about £220 but you would probably pay the extra moulding it to fit your car anyway!

they dont even make the kits they just designed the look - the kits are made elsewhere then they deliver to Kingdom and then to the customer!
