i was thinking about a kit , but not yet , checked the site but as mine is v70 back bumper wont fit , so its not feasable, hopefully someone will reply positively, i would say, watch import tax it could make it more expensive than getting in uk, we bought a present from usa and got charged by custom and excise £13 and then another from PO £8 as a holding fee and the present only cost $79.

No..it's not just you. IMO, it makes the car look like a snow plough (which could be handy from time to time). Also looks "Barry" to me. I know that looking for a body kit for an 850 can be pretty difficult, but if it was me looking for a kit, this wouldn't be the one I'd go for.

It's your car however, and you go and get what suits you.

I think it spoils the lines of the 850.
Not for me.
