Yes that is correct, Back bumper was nice but very bad quality, the finish was horrible and it would cost more than the kit to fix, The side skirts were not as shown on the pictures before purchase, they were over the top and didn't fit flush.

So sadly yes back down to fenders and front however i am happy now.

wow man.. I'm sorry your having such a hard time with this kit. Its unfortunate that you are unhappy with your purchase. You might want to inform potential buyers in the future by posting in the fitment feedback thread.

That was the point of this thread, to detail the entire process for anyone else looking to get this or any other bodykit, things to watch out for etc.

Tsachiti - in have really enjoyed reading this thread and your detailed write ups. I also have a silver sc. I first did the lip; the shop painted it before install but after checking the fitment. I am waiting for the side skirts and will show pictures in another thread. Your SC looks great!

Hey Frosted ! Welcome.

Aquanuke is the patron saint of SC430s, he helped me a lot when I first got an SC and as you will find out, other London SC owners regarding their car. ohh and Hi Aquanuke !

I have seen another SC between Banstead and Croydon 5ways , could that be you I wonder.

Meeting soon is defo I plan i am up for.

Is it just me or when the weather sucks, one doesn't do much car related stuff and so one doesn't come on the forum very often. Its like hibernating for the winter before returning once it gets warm again to start random threads.
