both look shite. especially the bottom one. keep it looking subtle and spend the money on other things like decent suspension and brakes.
bodykits are more hassle than they are worth, and you will be sick of it within a few months when it cracks and starts looking rough.

i think the bottom one looks lush but there is some nice mellow kits out there for a reasonable price. Gotta say Dave A is right though a lot of hassel and de-values ya car wen ya go too sell it

fairplay saying you havent regretted it, but judging by your age you ant have had it all that long! might be my biased opinion, but why spent several hundred to stick something to your car which will crack, cause you hassle, and when it comes to selling on, will end up being a waste of money. look at any of the older members on here, alot were into that sorta thing at 17-18, now look back and laugh....as does everyone else when you drive past (14 yr old school girls excluded). much better putting the money into making the car drive better as said

I like the 2nd one, but there again I would cos I am kitting our car too. The kit we have is very similar (almost identical) across the rear wheel arches and doors but our front bumper is different to that.
Seems to me that all the engine modders and euro's want to do is dis peeps who like cali or jap shapes.
Each to their own mates.

And loose the fun of kitting out the car to a style you like?
hey, and just think, if I did "just buy a jap car" I would even get the benefit of air con, wheres the fun then? No windows down on M25 car park breathing in all those glorious fumes kicked out by decatted cars

fair enough. Im not against kitted cars, irmscher and rieger kits look great, its when people go OTT and make their cars look like an advert for a plastic company, never understood it. if you didnt like the shape of the car that you had to change is so much then why buy that car in the first place?
