I don't think there is one in the UK yet, though Adam may have seen one come in on the import auctions, i know that Nemesis Performance now have the Veilside kit in stock (in the UK) for £3060, plus painting and fitting, thats a pretty good price s:)

Bah! Ignore Kris, if he doesn't like something then it's wrong, apparently.

I don't know of anyone with a Veilside kit but there has been some discussion about it on here before and it's seemed to split people's opinions. IIRC someone out there was after one, they're friggin' expensive though, about £3,000 plus fitting IIRC!

s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

Edited to say Andy beat me to it!!

Cheers mate!

I know what you mean, I think veilside have distorted their promo pics to make it look longer!

I was unsure at first.

How will the kit ruin the car?

How I ROLLED!!! my beloved old black MR2 Roadster:

I was doing 70 coming round a tight bend on the M271 in Southampton in wet weather!

The back end came out and I steered away from the skid to try and correct it! Bad mistake!

The car went sideways off the road, the rear impacted with an embankment next to the hard shoulder flipping the car onto its side, it then rolled 360 then dropped 10 feet into a ditch smashing the front end. The momentum then took us 100 metres on our side before coming to a stop right next to an emergency telephone! convenient!

The chassis was compacted so we had to get out of the roof! Thank god for soft tops!

Apart from the neck ache we walked away uncscathed with the roll cage / pasenger area in one piece!

The car saved us really, hence Ive bought another!

Magnum Motor company in farnborough are importing the new car for me:( see following link for more info and pics):

I noticed that the wheels were veilside too!

Should be arriving end of next week!

How do you think they managed to drop it so much?

Jap GT300 · August 15, 2003, 15:06

As with Magnums last car, I also saw this go through the auction. They seem to bid high and sell high, holding the car for quite a while until the right buyer comes along. Thats not really practical for most traders.

I think the kit is one of the best out there, apart from the GT300 of course s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Heavy body panels changing the weight of the car, vents that do nothing (what the hell are the vents in the front all about!?), no aerodynamics to it, huge wheels that change how the car handles. Replacement parts cost a wallet load when the whole point of the car is for it to be a easy to replace and recycle racer. A WAY overpriced turbo on a engine that really isn't that keen on FI......

Hey! I've just realised that Magnum are about 3 minutes drive from where I work!

I remember going to a sandwich shop one lunchtime, and seeing a silver MRS with bodykit and eyebrows and so-on in a forecourt.. I'm sure it must be the same one I've seen in various pictures on this site.. did someone buy it from them?!

I actually like the look of that Veilside kit too!

Seriously where do you guys find this stuff!

My car IS Emu!!!!

Would be interested in seeing some decent photos of it. The ones on the site are a little crap to say the least...bit fuzzy.
