Purity14 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 mad.car.stylings in dyfed north wales sell on ebay - ive always bought things from him(dave), and will be getting a new front splitter when it warms up again.

I don't want to seem mean but I would seriously advise against fitting a Veilside style anything to your car. You will be paying good money to devalue your car. If you want an aftermarket bumper, go for a Ridox, top secret or Do luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Dont do it keith! Veilside is considered blasphemy in most circles! Spend the money on some decent coilovers and a nice bumper lip instead Much classier and will add to resale value, not detract! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideexitsupra Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just face it Keith. You must be a total failure and banished from Supradom. If not the nae Sayers will stone you to death. Failing that you could alternatively think, it's my car and I will do what I like. If I don't like it I will change it. If others don't like it it's their problem.

SupraD06 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I deal with mad motors, they do some good fitting kits Sorry off topic Rob, im thinking of getting some Blitz skirts, have you had you seen what the fit is like on these skirts from Mad Motors? I was looking through threads on here and quite a few people have used Knightracer but looking at how far out Pistonbroke's were, if these are better ill use them.

fri3ndly Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Hmmm... I'm wondering whether your car may have expanded Edited May 9, 2012 by fri3ndly ooops (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Not being funny but has the bodyshop removed the headlights as they kinda fit 'over' the bumper I'd imagine. They may have just placed the headlights there to show the poor fit. I also imagine with the headlights removed and the bumper bolted on it would be likely to pull it back into shape. I'd be interested to see the bumper bolted on and then putting the headlights back in.

ashbuster Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 it doesnt look like it would bolt up, it wouldnt flex that much would it rob? if it was mine i would have sent it straight back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 As above. I have a genuine Veilside C1 front bumper. You have to remove the headlights first. When fitted the headlights sit on a part of the lip around the opening. Fit it an see if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 On my first soop, I bought a Failside front bumber , and I fitted it myself. Like yours, it seemed a bit wide and didnt quite look right, but once it was bolted on, the sides pulled in nicely and the centre sat well also. Most bumpers I think look slightly off when not on the car, but to be fair to suppliers, most recommend proffesional fitment anyway. Get them to fit it and see what happens. If it doesnt fit, then send it back and get a refund. If it does fit, then its all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 yes the bodyshop removed headlights and the bit in middle still wasnt the right angle to fit, i dont want to risk trying to bend it into shape incase its get damaged then am stuck with damaged front bumper that paid £300 for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
