Default TS50 Body Kits.

I'm interested in getting a TS50 Bodykit for my car, but I'm just wondering if anyone has purchased one of these from this seller on eBay? ronlik1960

Now it states that the TS50 kit won't fit to an AU S1, any ideas if it would take much modification to get it fitted to the S1 Forte? If not, any one else have any options?

It will be because of the S1 bonnet mate..
Change your bonnet to a high series bonnet or S2/3 and it will fit!!

Yeah, there's only been three negative comments on his profile and he's always selling them so its got me wondering. Maybe I'll just have to get one and find out.

www.awcinfo.com are highly recommended by alot of people... the body kit might cost more initially but you will save a heap in prep and paint costs and end up with a better product at the end of the day , just to give you an idea, my genuine bodykit cost $900 to paint and it didnt need much prep work at all...

Cheers Cam

if your after original t series whooooaaaa $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, if i could afford original thats the way i would go , as they are factory plastic , and a lot more forgiving, but there are some good fibre copies, but ask around as some dont fitup as well as they should , few tweaks here and there. good luck.

A mate of mine bought a bonnet for his BA off that bloke, and it needed a further $300 worth of work done to it prior to painting.

He's cheap enough, so just get it raw, and then put the time in yourself to fix all the blemishes prior to painting etc.
