Thats the kit i got, same seller.

I will show you my end results for my fitting when i get around to my thread. I did no modifications to the fibreglass. Slight bit of filing, about 10 minutes worth no more.

Keen to see the pics of your kit painted and fitted andrew.

Obviously I've ended up with a VERY bad kit, or possibly I'm too detailed and wont drive around with gaps I see so often on other cars. Trust me when I tell you this kit needed a lot of work. I happen to have some close associations with a panel shop in QLD so I've been lucky to have a lot of experts and advice on hand, but if anyone of you is keen on a spot-on finish with little modifications/work, then this is not a kit for you. Unless you are prepared to pay big $$ for modifications or are a sculptor or maybe lucky with a better mould, you better stay away from this shonky back yard operator in Qld. Incidentally, he agreed the kit was faulty, promised a partial refund and still did not come through with the agreed $$. I will post pics as soon as the car is shipped back here to NSW. Finalising fitment etc....Also, thanks for the link, yes this is the dodgy seller on Ebay and as you can see, the front bar he is advertising, is not the bar I have received. In other ad he describes this kit as "Brand New Vertex", which of course it isnt..In the ad you've linked up to above, he can not even spell "Brand", so I guess that tells you the stroy...quote:"*You are bidding on a brane new BN-Sports Soarer bodykit*"...

You got a different front bumper than the one in his ad?

Keen to see pictures of it when your all finished mate, my bumper is vertex as the pictures show. He seems to think his kit is a BN one but it's all vertex.

Ah true just saw a picture of your front bar above, that does seem weird..

Ah well, at least you know the guys at the panel shops so it shouldn't have cost you too much in the end.

Ok, here is the final result from a distance.
Looks just as good up front. If anyone of you need detailed pics/horror details etc, let me know.

Haha, looks like mine when she was black before her respray. Great work. Can you post more pics in the sunlight, kinda hard to see the details...it's rare to see another kit like ours posted. Thanks in advance, mate.
