Potential mark 2 bodykit availability
Was browsing .org the other day, and came across a thread by a chap who had damaged spats... a user called "XPart02" replied to the thread several times, this post in particular is of interest:

I arranged to get some moulds made up, and get the kit copied but when asking the community (.org, xpf and here) I got 2, maybe 3 people genuinely interested :look: It's not financially viable to get them copied for anything other than full sets (to start with)... The cost of getting the moulds made is just too high.. Had even enquired into getting them finished in CF :( |
The cost for a complete brand new never fitted un painted kit is around £800.
So getting a full complete kit copied just out-ways the cost, of even buying a kit. Would be good if XPart did manage to get the kit remade, but I reckon the cost of it would be pretty high. |
If you've been bumped by someone and it causes damage, and their insurance pays out, win!
|
In time someone will make moulds in order to re-produce the kit. As with previous rare cars I have owned, the owners club have commissioned tooling and moulds for parts no longer made.

3 or 4 people (myself included) have looked into getting replica kits made up. the cost of the tooling is prohibitive, without having firm orders for kits. Looks like XPart may be willing to re-manufacture the part now, though.
