I really like that kit! subtely different..is it a Postert exhaust on the back? I really like how the front wheelarch line is continued in the kit.  It's officially on my wish list now

I expect so, it's Postert's new kit.

I was goint to Monocraft (or otherwise) the '2, but I have decided to put the money into a late RX-7, as i have always wanted one - the '2 will be my 'nice' and show car, the RX-7 will be bl**dy quick and used for drifting   s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

I'm not sure yet -it will probably depend on what's available for the budget I have.

IMHO it looks like the '03 with the rear extensions blended in with the black plastic removed with some mesh put in........

I'm inclined to agree - don't think it looks different enough to really appeal.. And those arches.. Urgh.. Very Proton GTi!

The wheels are lovely though..  s:D :D s:D

I wasn't saying i don't like it - that'd be a lie becuase i do, i love it, but was thinking that it'd be fairly easy to adapt the OE bumper and save some money on the prob expensive kit.

I actually love the way it looks! My '2 looks a bit like a wheelbarrow at the moment with the Remus hanging out the back..    s:shock: :shock: s:shock:    This kit seems to tidy all that up nicely.

Although I agree about the wheel arches.. they are a little "proton".

Why didn't someone take the time to tuck their ears in for the promo photos though!! Obviously whoever took the pics isn't a '2 owner...  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

I like the nappy under the rear bumper. I wonder if that would fit a std car without the rest of the kit?   It really finishes the look of a twin exit exhaust.

Hmmm .... this could tempt me into looking into this, and a new exhaust.

Slightly off topic, I know, but does anyone have a picture of the rear of an 03 model with TTE twin exhausts without the rear spats, for comparison? I cannot decide between getting/not getting the spats
