Default Bodykit anyone ;)

I managed to pick up a repilca volvo add-on bodykit for my car while in swden. I sprayed up and fitted this week druing the evenings.













A couple of small issues to sort out - the main one being the dent in my sill which I was hoping to be covered by the kit - it kinda highlights more instead which is a bit of a pain.

Looks good, although on another note is the drivers side driver and passenger doors different colours? or is it just me?

Sorry but I prefer the look of your car with-out the kit. I think the kit makes it look a little odd. Maybe it would grow on me

Same colour as I did them at the same time. Might be just the light.

I hope it does. I love the look of the car at the moment.

Hi,

In two minds.

The photos don't do justice but maybe a clean of the top edge where the kit meets the sill and you'd be on a winner..
Looks like an add-on rather than part of the car, if you know what I mean..

Des. . .

personally, after giving it a good look, i love the back skirt suits it nicely and sides work ok, ive seen a more aggesive version as part of a "delta" kit. but the front doesn't do anything for me
