Dean's S15

[meddler]

that is some beautiful work!

cheers buddy

had some good news today, i wasn't after one but i have come across a genuine vertex lang kit, in the uk, for cheap.................

what to do you lot? i think this is the best and most complimentary kit for the s15 there is, this or a vertex wide kit (and that is just never gonna haooen) are the only ones i'd ever fit - should i do it?

help !!!!

 

[Suspect]

do it! If you have the money and the opportunity it must be done. :thumbs:

Is it actually a real kit or just a very good copy? There is a guy flogging mint copies with the undertray etc for 460 I think it was, I was tempted myself. If you have the cash go dor it ,lovely kit dude will finish the car off nicely

 

[DeanS15]

it's a genuine vertex mate - i know that for certain, but if that doesn't come off for any reason then i'm interested in a perfect copy, provided it is actually a copy of vertex lang.....too many 'copiers' just say it's a certain kit when its a mish mash of different kits. fit and finish would have to be excellent.....got any links to the kit?

 

[pegliobaglio]

I will try get some for you,on my blackberry at work so may take a while to find it,the kit was a one off copy from a original lang kit,looked really good mate.
I will find the links on my break and pm you them!

 

[DeanS15]

found a link on pistonheads, called it and the guy said i had the wrong number ???

 

[pegliobaglio]

Yeah there was a link on pistonheads and another on driftworks.
Think allanorr has spoken to him before.

 

[DeanS15]

if you are trying to shift a kit, then pics of all the parts would help instead of some stock pics from a website....this is why i am apprehensive to even bother with any copies any more. too much crap out there, you never know what you are getting....

 

[pegliobaglio]

The right number is usually a good place to start too!!!
Yeah that's very true mate,that's why I think genuine is the only way to go,but in my case so many more things I 'need' for the car first the bodykit is last thing on my mind .thought there were pics of the front bumper on the pistonheads ad? Either way I know what your saying and when I finish with the rest of the car I will be saving for a genuine kit of some kind for mine.
Go for the genuine kit if you can mate, will be worth it in the long run

 

[DeanS15]

the front bumper looks fantastic, but the fact there are no pics of the other stuff gets me wondering.....i am getting this to keep for later, i am very nearly finished with all i want to do to the actual mechanics of the car - there is some tidying to do on the interior, but thats it. then i will concentrate on using it and maintaining it

 

[pegliobaglio]

Yeah the front does look good,would have thought he would post pics of the whole kit,sure he would be able to get more pics of the kit for you if there is nothing to hide.
If you have space for the kit to be stored flat then do it mate, its a bloody good price and one of the best looking kits for the 15 too....

Having had a fiberglass kit on my last car I wouldn't do it again for the simple reason that it is fiberglass..

 

[DeanS15]

i had one previously too - provided it's prepped right then it should look great - it only tends to be big fibreglass parts like rear quarters etc that i've seen the rippling effect over time......i wouldn't get rid of the standard stuff, might prove too hard to get hold of again.....

Dean I have loads of pics of the kit I was actually going to buy it to run as a drift kit but he is going to do copys of the kit I am going to have made for me (makes more scence)
He used to produce the kits to sell to importers to put on S15s I am sure I still have the emails if your wanting some pics? think he said to me he would reinforce the bumpers with cevlar aswell for £480ish posted

 

[DeanS15]

well he's been on driftworks and hasn't replied to my message......he says he's in kent and i am too so i'm happy to go and have a look - the kit looks very impressive (or should i say the front bumper) as the rest is not actual pics....so i guess i'll wait and see how it all pans out - i am very interested in looking at it and buying it, but he doesn't seem to interested in selling it as he's ignoring the reply i think. the other kit i've been offered comes from THE uk vertex supplier, and this is a big giveaway, it's currently pink

 

[AllanOrr]

He did reply to me on driftworks though it was a few days later, though always responded to a personal email rather than through driftworks but as i was impressed from the pics he sent me seems to know what he is doing anyway

 

[DeanS15]

have you still got the pics? i'll pm you my email good to know this guys around as a backup, if his stuff is good

 

[Suspect]

You must get the proper kit and keep it the colour it currently is and take some pics for giggles! (I have a good idea or the colour and where it's from)

 

[pegliobaglio]

Pink and grey looks awesome man! s*** p**** is near you isn't it??!!!??!!
I have pink stickers on my car and against the grey looks awesome.
Not sure how good the whole kit would look though be fun to find out.
