This is about as good as a bodykit gets.

Hope I'm missing the...

Body kits on anything are horrid turds lacking in taste. I challenge anyone to post an image of an acceptable body kit. I cannot remember ever seeing one...

Still waiting...

The ONLY 'bodykits' I can bear are the ones some cars get 'as standard' - most Imprezas have what would count as a bodykit (wider front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a spoiler) from the factory - as do most hot hatches and even BMW Sport models and so on.

Otherwise I'm in the "they're all turds" category.

None of those cars visually benefit from their Halfords ram raid. I do not care for BMW's efforts much either.

RE: decent bodykits, what about going from this....



To this (ignoring the terrible wheels)....



?

That is rather decent. But isn't that a factory / AMG option rather than a third party bolt on?

[e21Mark]

If they're just cosmetic it's all pretty subjective anyway.

Nope, it's from a Japanese company called Wald. Their 'Executive' line is nice (DB7, GT Conti), but their 'Sportline' range is, erm..... less restrained! http://www.wald.co.jp/english/

It's an E46 coupe fitted with a corvette 5.7l LS1 V8 and 6 speed box, M3 LSD, AP brakes all round, HSD springs/shocks, uprated anti roll bars, E91 mirrors etc etc...

Where are your Style 32's? I seem to remember you had around 4 or 5 sets? Love them style of wheels, the car looked about as sleeper-ish as an E46 can get on those, although the LM's suit it well too.

Amazing car

Thanks yes I did/do have a style 32 fetish but can't get any of them to clear my brakes!

New wheels next I think.

Unlucky that, which wheels will you be going for next? May I recommend some Silvatec front indicator bulbs just to finish off the front end

Just out of interest, how much Vitara is actually left?

[SystemParanoia]

Fair question.

Engine, gearbox, transfer box, propshafts ( modified slightly ) chassis ( whats left of it ) firewall and dash and floor to just behind the seats.

The axles are from a toyota landcruiser, the rest is tube! Lol

Wheels will sit a little different a little different when the new spacers arrive, but

Adding to 'decent bodykits' has to be the CRX Mugen kit...

[k-ink]

That is not a Vitara! It is a (cool) kit car with some donor parts. Would love to have a go!

[irocfan]

think that this works as a decent bodykit...

I'm thinking Cades Tyrus I like the look of the LM's but I can't afford £4k for genuine ones.
