BoGlE Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Has anyone recently had anything from them? Did a search and found Jamiep's thread about them, just wanted to know if they'd improved since? I'm looking at the ridox front arches and obviously I want the best fit possible. Is it a case of you get what you pay for here? I mean I've even seen threads where people have said the shine auto wings arnt a perfect fit. And that's a £400 quid difference in price lol So has anybody fitted anything of either really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Can't remember the username but there was a project thread on here recently what had the Grams arches fitted and said they were a brilliant fit. Bizzle something was the username. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msupra1 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I have several grams styling pieces arriving next week. They mentioned the original Ridox front wings fenders didn't fit good, and their mold has improved corrects for fitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoGlE Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Thanks for the replys So theres should be a better fit than the originals? Also concerned about the strength and whether or not they'll paint the same as metal panels? I'm sure they will, I think I'm just being overly cautious lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 One of my friends got a full ridox kit off them recently and the fit was extremely good. Although in all fairness, nearly any aftermarket/fiberglass body kit will need even small adjustments to be perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoGlE Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Yeh after speaking to afew people I've decided I'll go for them. Will post up pics when I get delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 My original Varis front wings needed work to fit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 There's not a lot of suppliers to choose from if I am honest. All aftermarket parts will need some work so its a hit and miss. But if the customer service is good that's the main thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msupra1 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I received my ridox front arches today. Start playing around with the fitment to make sure I am happy with them before I ditch OEM. The problem is it doesn't have headlight brackets. Those who run fiberglass front fenders from Grams what was your solution? I cannot even install the headlight since the left side has nothing to grab onto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoGlE Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 I had thought that maybe a problem. A body shop could probably modify them and add some extra fiberglass I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thats why i havent done the front wings yet as the headlight fixings are built into the wing. Aftermarket wings don't have that, so im not sure how you'd do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Cut the headlight fixtures out and fiberglass it to the grams one. What a hassle though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msupra1 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Cut the headlight fixtures out and fiberglass it to the grams one. What a hassle though A strong automotive sealant bond will do the trick. It Is a hassle but I guess. The body shop will sort it for me.
