I saw that last night, criminal.
It might be funny if it was an old shed of a car, but I quite like the 350.
I've *never* seen anything quite so shonky....

How could anyone let themselves turn out that standard of work. It looks like the whole job was done with bits from Screwfix including woodscrews to
attach the body kit
Has to be said though, dicking about with bolt on bodykits never IMHO does anything for the look and finish of a production car. Would have been
better left alone in the first place

yeah, but the clue may have been in the price quoted $ 250 (approx $ 6.78) for fitting and painting.... should have set the alarm bells ringing
surely?

Sadly it's nothing new. We see this all the time. Latest example was an RX7 which we had to respray the (aftermarket bodykit) sills on as they
had used too much hardener in the filler and the metallic blue paint was a blotchy green and yellow mess! You should have seen the lacquer runs and
drips under the mirrors too. So big they looked like outside air temp sensors!

that may have been taken when they where trying to raise up the height. He lowered it so it had around 1" ground clearance.

i feel for the owner. No matter how low the initial quote is you dont expect it to turn out like that.
I wonder what posessed them to use wood screws and butcher such a car?
Ive often whinced when ive seem some of the home modded corsa's etc dne by the younguns that maybe dont know better, but even most of them are
better than that so called pro bodyshop. No time to read the posts but i hope he gets sorted out.

Help me here....
These body kits, skirts etc the wide boys add to their cars, how are they actually meant to be attached?
Rivets?
Double sided tape?
Bonded on with sikaflex or similar?
Cheers

if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't of believed that a company would do something that shocking to a car.
