tony, just learning how to post pics, so do i backspace the 'IMG' or do i just post the link without having to click on 'insert image'.
also, :D , a couple in a golf gti was parked next to me, they started reversing and then i looked back, hehe they were taking picture of the euro :P
Just post the link since it's got the [IMG] tags on it already. Or you can insert image and just paste in "http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g400/mr_late1/IMG_1202.jpg" without the image tags, photobucket should have the option to copy the just the direct link to the image.Quote:

ARGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH @*&%@*%&*!!!!
i just got a call from my mechanic. My body kit doesnt fit!!!!!!!!! he says its completely screwed up. The skirts dont fit properly and block the back doors from opening, the front lip doesnt fit cause the curvature is wrong where it wraps the sides. Ohhh man $$$ and months down the drain waiting on this bloody thing to arrive and it doesnt fit. They even took it to a panel beater who said they cant reshape it.
FML, totally fuming at work right now. Its not like i can contact the supplier in china for a refund. I have absolutely no idea why it doesnt fit cause its essentially the same kit from bodykitskingdom.
when i get home i will have 4 useless pieces of plastic and my dad's smug grin telling me "i told you so"
Oh really? Not sure then, I swear I've seen a gun metal rex - type r (gc8v) with those plates...i'm probably wrong lolQuote:

highly unlikely though, but that's very odd, maybe they sent wrong kit, maybe a replica of CL9?
if i were you, i'd re-sell the kit on firesport or something, get some dosh back, then buy it from Paul at kingdom, so far is pretty reliable.
i agree, could they have sent the wrong (~CL9) kit? normaly you expect maybe a not a perfect fit, but from what you described, soudns liek even the shape/curves are all wrong.
am sorry to hear this happening, after all your efforts......
Hmm well i just got my car and stuff back. I cudnt believe what i discovered...but more on that later
firstly it is the correct kit. mugen replica for cu2. what the problem was that the side skirts arent a perfect fit. the main problem being they dont slide under the door crack easily. theyre too thick. when trying them on i cudnt even close the door cause it kept jamming or sliding off/out.
So i had the bright idea of ripping off the double sided tape (which was shit quality anyway) cause it might reduce the thickness. which it did and it slid in alot better, but still wasnt a perfect fit. Also, there was a huge gap between the bottom of the car and the bottom fold of the skirt. i think your meant to screw the skirts onto the car there.
My mechanic said they can solve the first problem by cutting off the bits which jam the door and secure the skirts through the ends and bottom and use double sided tape for the outfacing parts. and for the gap at the bottom, they can pad it with some other material to bridge the gap between the skirt and the car to secure it.
but thats alot of work for what should be a simple process
problem number 3
they were testing this with one side skirt. THe other one was still in packaging when i got home (had to give up for the day, pack up and calm myself down) and i noticed the other skirt had a bloody crack along the top edge for a small section. -_- so even if i decided to go ahead and install this ghetto style, there would be a crack on one side.
problem number 4
the front mugen lip fits perfectly and snugly, but its a bit too snug. the whole thing looks fantastic, except.......where theres a curve just under our headlight, the lip kit isnt moulded properly and theres a gap between the car and the lip (will post pictures). The curvature of the top part of the lip is too curved compared to the curvature of the car.
Basically this is a minor problem, as they can fill the gap with silicon and paint it the same as my car. it will just look like its intentionally moulded to be not flat -_- sigh.
However i suggested they heat it up or something and reshape it to be flatter, but they said that if u push in the curve at that point, another section along the edge will just pop out to offset the pressure.
and finally the icing on the cake....
...they bloody did not send me my rear lip kit....><
basically i had ordered mugen front and sides, with a type S rear lip. They mustve screwed my order up and thought i only wanted the mugen parts despite my constant reconfirmations.
To make matters worse, i bought this like 6 months ago, so paypal buyer protection doesnt apply after 60 days, and if ur wondering why i didnt check the goods. its because they told me everything fit in 2 boxes, and when i went back to china to check out the goods, they were in two boxes. one long box for the skirts and one huge U shaped box for the front lip kit. I had assumed that the U shape fit the rear lip kit too, and since it was about to be shipped again, i didnt want to damage the box.
so now, im faced with a few options....buy a new side skirt from bodykitkingdom...except im kinda scarred about replicas now. But since people here have bought and fitted his stuff, they should be ok then right? Did anybody had any issues at all with fitament?
i can also try to chase up the sellers. but no way am i sending the stuff back, i just want my money back for the rear lip they charged me for but didnt deliver.
or just give up. I doubt anyone will want the side skirts, but the front lip is most definitely useable. Id probably just firesale it cause if im gunna give up on it id rather just give up on the whole thing *cries*
anyway, do you guys think the front lip at least is salvageable?
btw pics (had to turn them into urls cause theyre high res, you can blow them up to see clearer):

u can see how i cudnt close the door properly. then after i removed the tape it slid in but there were scratches on the kit where the door kept bumping into it.
with the front lip its hard to see the gap face on (thats a good thing i guess) but top down easily noticeable.
kwang, how was the fit of paul's kit when u test fitted? did you try the skirts too?
and any idea how much he's charging for the skirts? hopefully some ozbargain deal? lol i was the one who told him about this forum aaaaaaaages ago
man. dont giv up on trying to get someting back for it, u can do itQuote:
