Beer Baron Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 not sure if anyone in aus has imported the genuine veilside WB kits for 32 (except for ones already on cars). I will probably call in to veilside first week in november so if it's no trouble I'll find out what they charge for them these days.

Ronin 09 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 agreed that is about the only VS kit that doesn't look like it's hit road kill... the only other one i can think of off hand is the RX-7 kit from FF3 that's hot Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/131323-widebody-gtr/page/4/#findComment-2468980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 yeah, veilside do have some terrible kits but their widebody 32s have so much prescence in the flesh. they look amazing. i even like the veilside mariott wheels they put on them. suit the cars very well.

sigsputnik Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 mate, i think you have to stick to your guns - if you like it, that's all that matters. some wider tyres will make the car sit better i think. go for it, mate. i'm interested to hear about shan's case also...

funkymonkey Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 i'm interested to hear about shan's case also... the fibreglasser we contracted to do the mould sold a copy to the company that supplied ali's kit. he was swayed by extra money thrown at him (seeing as they charged ali for a genuine kit i'm sure they had plenty spare)... nothing much we can do except call him names and give him a swift kick to the nuts. Not gonna stress over it coz I'm over it. I've had the kit for like 3 years now... if people were that desperate for it they'll pay for a real one and copy it, so replica's are inevitable. still feel pretty shitty about it though. shouldn't have even agreed to having the kit copied in the first place... now there's 3 cars in melbourne running around with copies of my kit and I still haven't had the time to put mine on... although Adam's one I don't really mind (red one at Autosalon) coz Adam's a mate.

funkymonkey Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I seriously can't be f**ked anymore... I originally wanted to build a show car, but after moving to sydney (with the abysmal road conditions) and getting more and more involved in motorsport the less practical such a big kit seems. So not looking forward to babying the car around and parking the car ever so carefully once its put on.

funkymonkey Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 you have to cut away part of the inner guard, and part of the guard underneath, and fabricate a new innerguard so the wider wheel dosen't scrape on anything. the widebody guard goes right up to where the boot joins the guard, the point where the roof meets the body on the c pillar, and wraps just inside the door jam in front (so that there's no obvious joins when you look at the doorline) and at the back goes to the tail light. If you do it properly it makes a totally seamless blend.

funkymonkey Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I am against modifying wheel arches and bonding glass to metal panels. It will crack, There is one GTSt cruising around with the prelim copy that was pulled off the mould (which was supposed to have been destroyed, but I'm guessing that was sold too... heh). The owner of that car's just rivetted the kit onto existing guards. Without it being blended it looks like arse with a sprinkling of shite.
