I have spent about 6 months and just £1600 doing this, including the car! Ive done all the work myself squashed in the garage over the cold winter months, but its neraly there!!! Ive got a quote for £300 to make all the finishing touches and sprayed black. Only things i need now are tyres (4 of) or new alloys with tyres and harnesses (black or silver) for the MOT. Then its on the road.

What do you guys and gals think?

I dont like body kits but looks like you have made a good job of it all.

Will you be spraying it yourself as well?

work looks reall good as ive seem some shocking attempts at this kit, dont paint it black as every imperfection will show, a nice dark metalic grey would look awesome

Looks silly and laughable!

However, a lot of work has gone into it, shame it was wasted on something so disastorous and chavvy as that

Cheers for comments, good and bad. Its taken me a long time now doing it myself, a bit of trial and error really. Ive been warned about black and if i was going to finish it myself i dont think i would have bothered, but i am sending it to the professionals for the finish so should be ok. If its done properly in black it will look awesome i think. Ive got black angel eyes, tinted rear clusters, tinted windows and some konigs will follow shortly. Black/dark theme.

I got the seats form macro believe it or not, just £99.99! absolute barign if i dont say so. Fit just nice in the corsa B, think they fit cobra subframes but i just whipped the brackets off the original frames and welded them to the runners beneath the new seats.

will keep you updated. charlie

you need some serious spacers on those wheels, as they need to fill the arches otherwise there is no point in fitting the arches

personally would prefur a diff bonnet vent and mirrors, but all the work looks good

also IMO if you have the rear seat remove then the rear cards and boot plastics should either be removed of modified to look like there isnt supposed to be a seat there

whats the plans for paintwork? some flakes?

Hats off to you mate, not many people attempt that amount of work themselves and it looks like bodyshop standard to me so top stuff.

Just ignore the comments made those who decide your car aint good enough, because it is. Just clearly not to there tastes. Everyone has a different opinion on what bodykit or body mods they like/prefer. But at the end of the day this post is mainly conserned with the apreciation that you have done all the work yourself.
But if you ask me, as long as it is done right, the prowler kit can look awesome

boyracer2002's car anyone?

Glad to see your having a go yourself and actually doing a good job of it

As said already, I hope you are going to space your wheels out so that they match the arches, otherwise all that work has gone to waste.
