Torque GT have just listed this cracking S15 they have got coming over :nod: -

http://www.torque-gt.co.uk/auction_details/?act=productDetail&productId=511#

Now I'm usually quite good at kits but something’s not right with this one, I’m 90% sure it’s a ridge kit but with a normal vertex front bumper (non wide body) as it doesn’t flare up and meet the fenders like Rays does.

There is still something though, it just looks different to a lot I’ve seen, it looks wide but then when you look at other photos of ridge kits it doesn’t...? Maybe its the smaller wheels...Did they do more than one size in wide body?

The front fenders also, take Rays again...you have got an indent around the indicator side repeater where as on the red one you don’t? Is this an older style vertex ridge kit do you think? as I’ve seen another S15 with this style front fender listed as the vertex kit also so maybe I’m right. :)

That's alot of money for a 132000km car. Nice body kit but too expensive. It's defo vertex ridge but the front bumper is wrong and fits like ****!

+1 on that, my car is newer less miles and hell of a lot more mods as standard and cost a lot less. But the kit looks good bar the front bumper

That kit is vertex ridge, but the front bumper isn't... Looks like the front got damaged and all he's done is fitted a non wide replacement front... Doesn't look to great tbh for 15k

Was just wondering about the kit as the fenders are different to the usual ridge kit.

Plus that Irish one looks like a rust bucket (hence the price) as the top of the struts are rusty, and the seems in the engine bay look rusty. So you can imagine what the rest of it is like. It's cheap for a reason!
