Do these simply bond on to the existing bumper , or does the bumper need chopped up ?
Whereabouts online sell them at a good price ?
Cheers

I would rather just buy them as the bond on ones . I've seen them on ffwdmotorsport for £154 , but there must be somewhere a bit cheaper

1: no matter how much you pay for these kit there a twat to fit.
2: there aint much kits cost more than what i paid and it was still a twat to fit.
Rear bumpers tend to go on well(mine did) and so too did the side skirts.
Front bumper mine anyway did not go too well took ages to fit just how i wanted it. im dreading the Carbon bonnet.
all together my stuff came to just under £600

i have a feeling if you where after say a Prowler/Velocity kit these would be harder to fit and cost more than mine and then you got 18"+ wheels to fill out the Arches on top of that cost. saying that my wheels where £almost £600 with the Mc guards and there only 15s

Are these still hard to fit even when they are only going on top of the originals ?
What about for spraying ?

As i said mate mine was the whole front, it was far more easy for me to fit a bumper than piss about glueing/Bonding one on i wanted the car smooth ish and The extensions brake up the bumper.
People i think recomend you cut the bottom of original bumper so you cant see it through mesh on the new add on.
As for paint. what colour is your car mate?

Flame Red
The whole car could be doing with a blowover so it could all be done at the same time .
Is the front and rear the same depth as standard ?

Mine is lowered 60 as well , with a laguna splitter and it catches on speed bumps , bumps in the road etc 
Iwasn't going to go for a kit either and am still thinking about it , but I think it's quite a subtle kit and not ott

U dead right thats why i got the kit. With that drop and my 15" drives like a little go kart no rear seats and soon to have a semi smooth boot
(no wiper/Boot lock) and a full carbon bonnet for lightness i got 256mm Astra Gsi front discs but get 284/285 front V6 setup lokks cool under wheels that size.
I would be ding this also if i had not of got the drilled grooved discs on the fron to match the callipers, also get Braided hoses

Just a Gmax one to Be honest its low so i like it drives ok i just try missing the pot holes and sunken drains got my springs of a mates old corsa so they where already run in, every Body says Coliovers are really cool and you cant beat them but i dont really think you can have a low sporty car and expect great ride too its a comp, As my mate has a TVR Cerbera its like it dont even have any its so hard
