hey guys,heres my first instalment of the bodykit. its part of the votex kit.
its still carrying its stitches in the form of black masking tape but im very happy with it. only have a fone pic at the mo, willl update with some better digi cam pics over the weekend
managed to get the original bumper painted black today as well as a good clean so added a couple other pics

I was going to say that but yes looks mean at the front now mate. Nice one
 
gives the car a much more agressive look on the front without being in your face OTT. Good work :o.k:
 
chris looks very nice did your new bumper lower half fix over the old lower half?? have you any pic of the rear of the car

yer mate, the new one simply fits over the original with 2 screws either side and a splattering of glue here and there. heres some pics of the rear of my car but its only standard for the time being that is....





j7uss- next up is the skirts mate (next month hopefully)then im not sure what bumper to get for the rear. im not the biggest fan of the votex rear but i dont excatly hate it....:)
 
Looks good. :icon_thumright:

Makes the car look a little 'front-heavy' but I'm sure that will be more balanced once the rest of the kits on.
 
yer thats it, when the skirts are on itll even itself out a bit more

Go for the Sline then mate, Looks well.
 
What skirts are you going for or you gonna opt for the sline blades. Mines got the blades but want the quattro skirts, but the front bumper does make an impact.
 
im going for the vortex sides as this will ensure that both the front and sides are both the same depth(if that makes sence)
with regards to the rear bumper im thinking of the votex again as itll be the same depth. im not sure whether the s-line rear is just the standard depth in which case it wont match the front+sides.
pav- i may go for the door blades aswell but dont want it looking too modifyed so ill see how it looks after the rest of the kit is on
 
just got my votex rear bottom half of ebay:icon_thumright: look for the front how much did you pay for the front votex chris

thanks

paz
 
Yes the Sline rear wont even it out imo so if like you say you dont hate the rear votex then go for it. The votex kit was one of the choices before I found my rieger.
Its amazing how the bodykits fill up whats missing if you get what I mean. Definately makes the car look more planted!!
 
with the grills aswell??
ill buy its off you for £120. nice little profit there for u bud:icon_thumright:
 
lol no thanks looking for the front and sides i did get the grills but not the covers

well itll be just about 2 weeks before i get it back, had loads of quotes and they al coming in at around £400 fitted, even audi is £400 so im getting it done there and they are doing a full valet etc while its in, free of charge so ..watch this space
 
cheers paz, appreciate that mate!

pity its the one for the 2 exhausts. the one im after will have no exhaust recesses. Thanks anyway though buddy:icon_thumright:
 
Mmmm... loving the depth around the headlights. Not going to bother enquiring the price though!!
