j_jza80 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Like any other cheap fibreglass replica bodykit I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I had a Top secret type iii of them years ago and it was a great fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybennoch Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 any idea at fitting cost for a full bodykit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 My trial rear was almost a perfect fit from them, yet kelvin on here got one - and although it fitted ok, the quality of the finish wasn't good. I think it's luck of the draw, with what ever member of their staff actually lays the kit up. But, as with any fibreglass product, you should always expect to do some trimming and fettling, as well as prep work, before the part will be ready for paint. I've done a lot of work in this industry, and know that trimming parts out of a mould, to be a perfect fit straight off, is virtually impossible.

listy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Word of warning, watch what you say in this thread. We have had dramas with KR issues in the past, and if the thread goes south, it will be deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Nothing derogatory been said yet Jon, I certainly wouldn't hesitate to use them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Regarding fitting cost, it really is a 'how long is a piece of string' answer. If it's used parts, that have previously been fitted, and fall straight on, it would be much cheaper than new parts that need trimming, modifying, and prep work.

scottybennoch Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 hmm i want a trial rear and a ridox front bumber and maybe some side skirts cuz i dnt like my OEM skirts. its weather i can be patient and wait for used haha ill have to ring round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 When I got a bumper from them last year it wasn't good. I didn't even attempt a test fit as the quality was poor, and it turned up damaged (the latter was probably the courier though). In fairness to KR though they collected it FOC and gave me a full refund including postage cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RichardRobinson Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 No, I had not taken anything from knight racer. But I heard good reviews about this, you should also check online site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I used them for a half carbon TRD spoiler and it was a perfect fit and quality, would easy use them again if i ever went down that route again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have trial rear on mine and was a ok fit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjay0_7 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Found the Aerokit trial rear to be far superior quality and fit to the knight racer one That said, being an aftermarket part, expect to do a little trimming here and there to get it to fit correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My trial rear is awful and pains me everytime i see it, gap around rear lights and the back undertray is uneven which is more noticeable, sadly it's blended in which to their credit is still uncracked 6 years later.
