Hmm not too sure, it looks fine from the back and side, but the front looks weird, probably because there are no side skirts. But then it would look funny with skirts and that front but with a chrome rear bumper. If it was me I'd remove the front spoiler thingy, but if you want the bodykit look, I'd fit skirts and a rear bumper, but that zeemax style one would look too roundy, compared to the front. I'd have thought an ERA style one would look alot better.

yeh it do look a bit weird lol but i think it wil look ok one it sprayed and that .
i only brought the rear bumper as he wanted a 5er , someone else told me that square and rounded wont go .
do you think it will look better if i jst leave it as it is and dont put skirts or the bumper on ?
i would remore the front but i dono whats lirking behind it and how much it would cost to sort it all out

thankz mate its helped alot

I think side skirts might look rather nice, looks low at the front but high in the middle at the moment.

[panelbeaterpeter]

Hmm probably would be okay, the front is bound to be bolted or screwed on, have a peek and you should be able to see any fixings behind it, if it's glued you could just hack it off! worst comes to the worst you might have to get new front arches, weld up some holes and do a bit of filler work to the front panel. Would be easier and cheaper than fitting skirts and a rear bumper.

yeah a ERA side skirts might look ok

hiya
that sounds very good but dont no any one who can do it
cheers

In my opinion it will look funny with just a front and rear bodykit and no matching side skirts. I would either add some side skirts or debumper it.
