Gotta say Bakke, I think original designs are normally the best, but that kit is niiiiiiiiiice with a capital ICE.

Well, just to update,

I have had a reply from someone with a bodykit (theis I believe).
They are very busy with University at the moment but I've been told that when he has the time to remove the kit from the car I can borrow it to make molds. So, watch this space.

Just found this thing when browsing local ads of cars for sale... What do you think - seems like a peugeot grill at least. Somehow it fits - but I'd still prefer the original... Sideskirts though, me like.

I quite like the peogeut effort...looks like a 206 bottom half? Wouldn't pay anything for it, but if it was free i'd put it on the car.

Pandion · Post by **Pandion** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 6:46 pm

Yup that'd be my kit, just to point out that there's a missing piece of door trim on the red 480 with Theiss kit shown, doesn't sound much but it makes a big difference to the overall look.

BTW Mat, i forgot to mention, the previous wner hacked at the rear bumper to fit a towbar

, so there's a little gap in the middle of it, just below the number plate.

MatBat · Post by **MatBat** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 11:02 pm

No worries, I'm sure it can be remade to look good.

I guess the previous owner didn't know what he had eh?

Pandion · Post by **Pandion** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 3:26 pm

Definately not.

Seems the original owner did tho, Thiess kit, digital clock, GT style (but nicer imho) alloys, turbo interior, it would've been a beautiful car when new.

I bet!, I can't wait to see her, (well the kit anyway

)
I still have no idea of what it's going to cost me to get a mould made.
The people I hope to use are quite near to me though, so they'll recieve much bugging and persuasion to complete the task quickly.
