mk 2 body kit fitment

vanishing days · 03-07-12, 02:12 PM

Been to view to zs's with 180 kits on now both have been absolute heaps. But one thing I noticed on both was the body kits look very badly fitted with different size gaps all round is this a general problem to do with the glue used and can it be removed and refitted properly. Im trying to find a decent car for my other half to use but not much luck so far the zs today was showing all the signs of hgf glooby oil and mayo on the cap so walked away

It would be fair to say that the fit of the bodykit can be a bit patchy.

It can be removed and refitted to improve things, but it is time consuming, and a lot of care is needed to avoid damaging any of the mouldings during removal.

When I had to replace a front wheel arch flare after someone hit it I couldn't believe how brittle the plastic was.

Even the best bodykits, look like an afterthought.
